	annote = {Signatures of therapeutic speech formation in heart rate variabilityBackground Anthroposophical Therapeutie Speech uses poems and exercises which typically induce rhythmical breathing Speaking influences respiration and thus directly heart rate variability I IRV in particular via respiratory sinus arrhythmia which together With the slower rhythms of heart rate variability HRV may be regarded as an indicator of sympathovagal balance In ehronomedicine numerous frequency ratios between physiological rhythms especially in trophotropic phases have been established Integer ratios occur frequently and seem to be associated with the optimization of physiological processes In larger groups the average pulse respiration quotient is about 41Question Can systematic effects on HRV and thus on autonornic balance be established through special speech therapySubjects and methods ln two trained therapists and 7 untrained subjects the influence of different speech exercises and texts on HRV was investigated With untraincd subjects a total of 105 onehour sessions divided into speech and control exercises was performed The overall wellbeing and quality of wellbeing were assessed with questionnaires Control evaluations were made in the same settingResults As a simultancous effect during speech exercises and texts typical intra and interindividually reproducible patterns in heart rate variability were observed Reciting poems with a hexameter metric generates 2 oscillations with a 21frequency ratio in the HRVspectrum As irnmediate effects there was a significant drop in heart rate after speech sessions as well as a strengthcning of vagus related HRV parameters especially after hexameter cxcrcises In comparison to control sessions the subjects felt significantly better too The different metric and poetic character of the texts was rcflected clearly in the resultsnbsp}
