Background: Different types of breathing exercises are known to have positive effects on cognition and memory. Aim: To analyze the effects of breathing exercises on cognition and memory. Design: Systematic Review. Methods: Research articles were searched on PubMed and Google Scholar. Selected studies were included for the analysis based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Ten studies were included for the analysis. Several breathing exercises showed improvements in cognition and memory-recall. Conclusions: Breathing exercises improve the cognitive functioning of individuals. Combining these breathing exercises with other physical activities has proven to have a positive impact on the overall cognitive well-being and memory. More studies should be conducted to understand the effects of breathing exercises on cognition and memory on a deeper level.
