Abstract Mindfulness in Motion (MIM) can improve stress, resiliency, and burnout in healthcare providers but physiological outcomes are unknown. Thus, this study evaluated the effects of MIM on respiration rate (RR), heart rate (HR), and heart rate variability (HRV). Nineteen healthcare providers wore chest strap electrocardiography (ECG) devices and remained still and seated while data were...
