Activity and physical effort positively affect a person's psychophysical state and emotional experience. Interest in the phenomenon of flow, the state of perceived arousal, stems from its relationship to an individual's intrinsic motivation. Flow is an area of research in many fields, including sports. Nowadays, solutions are being sought to support the traditional assessment of cognitive and affective states using analysis of physiological signals. Therefore, the present study analysed and estimated the physiological responses that may occur during the induction of a flow state between exercises stimulated by additional metrorhythmic stimuli. Thirty-six healthy subjects participated in the study. The effects of various metrorhythmic stimuli on the body's physiological response during the subjects' free gait were examined. The physiological response and flow intensity were evaluated when the rate of individual stimuli was changed, and the rate was enforced. Several statistically significant variables and correlations were determined for physiological indicators depending on the stage of the study conducted and the level of flow experienced. A positive, statistically significant correlation of flow and HRV frequency variables was obtained. The results also confirm previous literature reports on the relationship between flow response and frequency heart rate variability during physical activity.
活动和体力消耗对人的心理生理状态和情感体验有积极影响。对心流现象（即感知到的唤醒状态）的兴趣源于它与个体内在动机的关系。心流是包括体育在内的许多领域的研究范畴。如今，人们正在寻求各种解决方案，以通过分析生理信号来辅助对认知和情感状态进行传统评估。因此，本研究分析并估计了在额外的节律性刺激所激发的运动间诱导心流状态过程中可能出现的生理反应。三十六名健康受试者参与了这项研究。研究考察了各种节律性刺激对受试者自由步态期间身体生理反应的影响。当改变并施加单个刺激的频率时，对生理反应和心流强度进行了评估。根据所进行研究的阶段和所体验的心流水平，确定了生理指标的几个具有统计学意义的变量和相关性。获得了心流与心率变异性频率变量之间呈正相关且具有统计学意义的结果。研究结果也证实了先前文献中关于体育活动期间心流反应与心率变异性频率之间关系的报道。
