“…The field of Human-Computer Interaction shows immense promise in learning breathing strategies during running, with demonstrators such as Strive ( Valsted et al, 2017 ) and Counterpace® ( Constantini et al, 2018 ) exploiting step-synchronized feedback modes. Core principles such as multi-sensory experience, user-centered design, and embodied interaction can guide the design of future systems to teach runners how to breathe during running ( Wiehr et al, 2017 ; Mencarini et al, 2019 ; van Rheden et al, 2020 ). We propose auditive and haptic-based feedback systems that are field-ready with real-time learning possibilities regarding the runner’s current BP and adherence to the desired strategy.…”

Running is among the most popular sporting hobbies and often chosen specifically for intrinsic psychological benefits. However, up to 40% of runners may experience exercise-induced dyspnoea as a result of cascading physiological phenomena, possibly causing negative psychological states or barriers to participation. Breathing techniques such as slow, deep breathing have proven benefits at rest, but it is unclear if they can be used during exercise to address respiratory limitations or improve performance. While direct experimental evidence is limited, diverse findings from exercise physiology and sports science combined with anecdotal knowledge from Yoga, meditation, and breathwork suggest that many aspects of breathing could be improved via purposeful strategies. Hence, we sought to synthesize these disparate sources to create a new theoretical framework called “Breath Tools” proposing breathing strategies for use during running to improve tolerance, performance, and lower barriers to long-term enjoyment.

“…The application of realtime monitoring, such as medical monitoring, critical infrastructure monitoring, alarms, or real‐time feedback on body movement, is vast and distinct from the purpose of data exploration. Especially with respect to sonification and auditory display, the field is well‐researched (e.g., [KIK19,SJMT19,VRGM20,WMY*17,HRM15]), and we will not cover such designs in this STAR. Artistic contributions have the potential to be highly inspirational for our field but require a different search method and, most likely, a different system of classification.…”

“…Firstly, most research on monitoring applications used for auditory feedback of human behavior in the fields of sports, therapy, or rehabilitation focuses on the design, impact, and evaluation of interfaces that utilize the non‐intrusive attributes of auditory displays. Hence, they enable users to perceive information without any interfering actions, such as adjusting their head or body position to view a visual display [SJMT19, VRGM20, MNS16]. While some of these interfaces include visualizations at a low scale level, they hardly qualify as audiovisual monitoring devices in terms of providing a balanced contribution from both modalities.…”

The research communities studying visualization and sonification for data display and analysis share exceptionally similar goals, essentially making data of any kind interpretable to humans. One community does so by using visual representations of data, and the other community employs auditory (non‐speech) representations of data. While the two communities have a lot in common, they developed mostly in parallel over the course of the last few decades. With this STAR, we discuss a collection of work that bridges the borders of the two communities, hence a collection of work that aims to integrate the two techniques into one form of audiovisual display, which we argue to be “more than the sum of the two.” We introduce and motivate a classification system applicable to such audiovisual displays and categorize a corpus of 57 academic publications that appeared between 2011 and 2023 in categories such as reading level, dataset type, or evaluation system, to mention a few. The corpus also enables a meta‐analysis of the field, including regularly occurring design patterns such as type of visualization and sonification techniques, or the use of visual and auditory channels, showing an overall diverse field with different designs. An analysis of a co‐author network of the field shows individual teams without many interconnections. The body of work covered in this STAR also relates to three adjacent topics: audiovisual monitoring, accessibility, and audiovisual data art. These three topics are discussed individually in addition to the systematically conducted part of this research. The findings of this report may be used by researchers from both fields to understand the potentials and challenges of such integrated designs while hopefully inspiring them to collaborate with experts from the respective other field.

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.
