Key result
Synchronization of heart rate and step rate during treadmill running significantly increased stroke volume and cardiac output compared to unmatched conditions (P < 0.05).
Why the study?
Does synchronization of step rate and heart rate improve stroke volume and cardiac output in healthy subjects during treadmill running?
Does synchronization of step rate and heart rate improve stroke volume and cardiac output in healthy subjects during treadmill running?
p-value: p=<0.05
Synchronization of heart rate and stride rate during running acutely augments stroke volume and cardiac output without increasing myocardial oxygen demand.

May support entrainment strategies during running; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Dhindsa et al. (2012) studied Healthy subjects (n=23). Synchronization of step rate and heart rate vs. Unmatched step rate and heart rate was evaluated on Stroke volume and cardiac output (p=<0.05). Synchronization of heart rate and step rate during treadmill running significantly increased stroke volume and cardiac output compared to unmatched conditions (P < 0.05).
