Impact loading and locomotor-respiratory coordination significantly influence breathing dynamics in running humans.

Impact loading and locomotor-respiratory coordination significantly influence breathing dynamics in running humans.

Locomotor-respiratory coupling (LRC), phase-locking between breathing and stepping rhythms, occurs in many vertebrates. When quadrupedal mammals gallop, 1∶1 stride per breath coupling is necessitated by pronounced mechanical interactions between locomotion and ventilation. Humans show more flexibili...
