Entrainment may lower pulse pressure in models; leaves open whether heart-step matching improves human hemodynamics.
Does optimal entrainment between heart rate and step rate improve cardiovascular performance in a tubular model of the aorta and lower limb arteries?
Entrainment of heart and step rates during running may theoretically improve cardiovascular performance by reducing arterial pulse pressure, though human studies are needed.
O’Rourke et al. (1992) studied this question.
