Illustration 17
Diagram of overview of the phase co-ordination between heart and breathing rhythm and the various rhythmic functions in the central region of the endogenous-autonomic spectrum, provable in humans.
(According to HILDEBRANDT 1987)
Illustration
17 shows a diagram of an overview regarding the phase linking of heart
and breathing rhythm so far proven in humans with other functional rhythms
related in the spectrum, whereby the arbitrary motor rhythms are also included.
The breathing and heart rhythm are in the centre of a polar field of tension
of the rhythmic organisation of humans. Here, the harmonic regulating principles
meet the dissolving influences of the performance-determined frequency modulations
of the rhythmic functions.
The phase linking between the rhythms contributes to the functional economy
by aiming at certain co-action positions, and can specify whole numbered-harmonic
frequency ratios.
