Although there have been studies of some factors related to the features of out-of-body experiences (OBEs), the effect of physical body posture and activity has not been systematically explored. Over the years research has suggested that OBEs are more frequent in states of low physical activity and when the body is supine, in agreement with other findings related to alterations in consciousness. Thus, we predicted that OBEs would be associated with lying down and little or no physical activity, and that these factors would show a higher number of OBE features than OBEs in which the person was physically active and/or standing. OBE cases were collected through appeals in published sources. Respondents provided a description of their only or most recent OBE and filled out a questionnaire about OBE features. The findings indicate that OBEs were associated with low physical activity and being in a supine position. Those who had experiences under these conditions also obtained a higher number of OBE features than those who were active and standing at the time of the OBE.
尽管已经有一些关于与体外体验（OBEs）特征相关的因素的研究，但身体姿势和活动的影响尚未得到系统的探索。多年来的研究表明，体外体验在身体活动水平较低以及身体仰卧时更为频繁，这与其他有关意识改变的研究结果一致。因此，我们预测体外体验将与躺下以及极少或没有身体活动相关，并且这些因素所呈现的体外体验特征数量会比个体处于身体活动和/或站立状态时的体外体验更多。通过在已发表的资料中发布征集信息来收集体外体验案例。受访者描述了他们唯一的或最近的体外体验，并填写了一份关于体外体验特征的问卷。研究结果表明，体外体验与低身体活动水平和仰卧姿势相关。在这些条件下有过体验的人所获得的体外体验特征数量也比在体外体验时处于活动和站立状态的人更多。
