“…Visuals to aid treadmill running have been explored as well, e.g., Nunes et al explored how to motivate treadmill runners [21]. Burr et al [22] explored visuals during the run to guide the user's breath. They used a setup consisting of a treadmill and a projector screen to display gamified breath guidance, which stabilized the participant's breathing frequency and increased breath awareness.…”

Running is a popular sport throughout the world. Breathing strategies like stable breathing and slow breathing can positively influence the runner’s physiological and psychological experiences. Sonic breathing instructions are an established, unobtrusive method used in contexts such as exercise and meditation. We argue sound to be a viable approach for administering breathing strategies whilst running. This paper describes two laboratory studies using within-subject designs that investigated the usage of sonic breathing instructions with novice female runners. The first study (N = 11) examined the effect of information richness of five different breathing instruction sounds on adherence and user experience. The second study (N = 11) explored adherence and user experience of sonically more enriched sounds, and aimed to increase the sonic experience. Results showed that all sounds were effective in stabilizing the breathing rate (study 1 and 2, respectively: mean absolute percentage error = 1.16 ± 1.05% and 1.9 ± 0.11%, percent time attached = 86.81 ± 9.71% and 86.18 ± 11.96%). Information-rich sounds were subjectively more effective compared to information-poor sounds (mean ratings: 7.55 ± 1.86 and 5.36 ± 2.42, respectively). All sounds scored low (mean < 5/10) on intention to use.

Endurance running is among the most popular physical activities partially due to its low barriers to entry. However, some people avoid running because of respiratory distress, and respiratory monitoring could help prevent this. Wearable sensors are valuable for respiration detection during exercise and enable respiratory feedback in real time. Therefore, this study presents a wearable chest-mounted stride and respiration sensor including step and flow reversal event detection algorithms. The algorithms were evaluated using precision and recall between detected and reference events with respect to different levels of breathing depth, motion artifact, thoracic skin temperature and sweat. Overall F1 scores reached 93.2%, 97.4% and 97.2% for step, expiration and inspiration events, respectively. No significant effect on event detection performance was observed for breathing depth, stride motion artifact, or thoracic skin temperature. In contrast, sweat level slightly decreased detection performance. Consequently, this sensor is able to accurately measure stride and respiration during running and could be suitable for use as a system to guide runners’ respiration during exercise.
