Popis: AbstractOnline games are becoming increasingly popular, but a corresponding problem has emerged: Internet gaming disorder (IGD). IGD refers to problematic game use, where gaming results in problems with cognition and emotional regulation. Abdominal breathing (AB) is one method of psychophysiological reaction regulation. However, few studies have explored the effect of AB on gamers with IGD. In this study, we investigated the effects of short-term AB training (10 min) on the heart rate variability (HRV) of college students with IGD as they watched positive and negative online gaming videos. In total, 21 and 19 participants with low-risk IGD and high-risk IGD (HIGD), respectively, were included in the analysis. The results revealed that AB training was associated with increases in the natural logarithms of the total power and low-frequency HRV of the HIGD group during both video stimuli (p
