The breath holding time (BHT) is under voluntary control to a considerable extent and is dependent on various factors. Pain interrupts ongoing mental processes and mental task stimulates the respiratory complex as a part of generalised central nervous system arousal. We hypothesised that the concurrent cold-induced pain and mental task may change BHT. In this study BHT with concurrent mental task (MT) or coldinduced pain (CPT) was assessed in healthy individuals (n=25). The objective was to investigate the effect of CPT and MT on BHT. Initially basal BHT was recorded then the BHT was recorded during MT and CPT. The data were analysed by Friedman test. The results showed no significant effect of MT and CPT on BHT. However, BHT showed an increasing trend with CPT and MT. It is concluded that cold pressor pain and mental task do not have vital influence on breath holding time. Key Words: breath holding time, cold pressor test, pain, mental task.
