Sound Stabilizes Locomotor-Respiratory Coupling and Reduces Energy Cost

Abstract: A natural synchronization between locomotor and respiratory systems is known to exist for various species and various forms of locomotion. This Locomotor-Respiratory Coupling (LRC) is fundamental for the energy transfer between the two subsystems during long duration exercise and originates from mechanical and neurological interactions. Different methodologies have been used to compute LRC, giving rise to various and often diverging results in terms of synchronization, (de-)stabilization via information, and a… Show more

“…In the present study, only two subjects presented stable entrainment in all tests while about 75 % of all subjects showed MRC in less than 50 % of all recorded breaths. This distribution is in accordance with previous findings in various types of rhythmic non-respiratory movements (van Alphen and Duffin 1994;Rassler and Raabe 2003;Hoffmann et al 2012).…”

“…In contrast, timing-related factors such as movement velocity, movement rate or breathing rate have a marked influence on MRC (Rassler and Kohl 1996;Ebert et al 2000;Amazeen et al 2001;Temprado et al 2002;McDermott et al 2003;O'Halloran et al 2012). Moreover, MRC can be stabilized when several muscle groups act synchronously or when a rhythmical sensory signal paces the movement rhythm (Rassler et al 1990;Ebert et al 2000;Hoffmann et al 2012). Variability of the movement rhythm is reduced in these situations.…”

“…The underlying reason for this widespread phenomenon is yet to be fully elucidated, but there is evidence that an energetic and/or perceptual benefit to LRC exists. Entrainment between movement and breathing frequencies lowers submaximal oxygen cost during a variety of exercise modes (Bernasconi and Kohl 1993;Bramble and Carrier 1983;Daffertshofer et al 2004;Garlando et al 1985;Hoffmann et al 2012;O'Halloran et al 2012;Takano and Deguchi 1997;Villard et al 2005), though not in all instances (Rassler and Kohl 1996;van Alphen and Duffin 1994;Yonge and Petersen 1983). If locomotion and ventilation can be coordinated in such a way that they share some common task(s), in theory the metabolic cost of locomotion and/or ventilation could be reduced.…”

“…Interestingly, research indicates that some of these biological oscillators tend to synchronize to each other at different period proportions; e.g., cardiovascular-respiratory (Schäfer et al, 1999), cardiovascular-motor (Niizeki and Saitoh, 2014), and respiratory-motor (McConnell, 2011). McConnell (2011) pinpointed the importance of coordinating breathing and motor rhythms to maximize comfort and (metabolism) efficiency in running, cycling, and rowing performances (Hoffmann et al, 2012). The fact that both music and biological processes within an individual may be conceived as a multilayered oscillatory system is interesting.…”
