ABSTRACT:
A rhythmic biofeedback technique for inducing relaxation to counteract the adverse physiological and psychological effects of chronic stress on an individual. In this technique, the heart beat of the individual being treated is continuously monitored and the prevailing rate is displayed to him as he undergoes a rhythmic conditioning session constituted by successive exercise-relaxation cycles extending for a predetermined period. In the course of each cycle, the individual is required to raise his level of exertion, as indicated by his perceived heart beat rate, to a peak representing an established safe upper limit, following which he is required to decrease his exertion until he reaches a lower limit at which a recovery relaxation response takes place. The upper and lower limits are determined by the individual's existing capacity for exercise and define his target heart rate zone.
