Speech and breathing in different conditions of limb movements and over time
Résumé
Speech, respiration and limb movements seem interconnected in different ways. For example, speech production increases the duration of breathing cycles while physical effort shortens it. Physical activity may also improve creativity and semantic memory in relation with breathing. In this paper, we analyze changes in breath groups and breathing cycles during narration of short stories recalled with different motions of the limbs (hands free, hands blocked, hands biking, legs biking), and their progress over two days. The analyses suggest a significant increase of the breath group duration on day 2 as compared with day 1. This effect seems especially clear in the hand-blocked and hands-biking conditions. It is interpreted as an evidence of larger interferences between limbs movements and speech in these two conditions.
