Notes: The breath frequency F represents the number of breathing cycles over 1 minute; the peak-to-peak tidal volume Inline graphic is the average amplitude across all the breathing cycles for the corresponding activity; the peak-to-peak airflow Inline graphic is the average amplitude across all the breathing cycles for each activity.
