[en] The human body exploits its neural mechanisms to optimize actions. Rhythmic movements are optimal when their frequency is close to the natural frequency of the system. In a pendulum, gravity modulates this spontaneous frequency. Participants unconsciously adjust their natural pace when cyclically moving the arm in altered gravity. However, the timescale of this adaptation is unexplored. Participants performed cyclic movements before, during, and after fast transitions between hypergravity levels (1g-3g and 3g-1g) induced by a human centrifuge. Movement periods were modulated with the average value of gravity during transitions. However, while participants increased movement pace on a cycle basis when gravity increased (1g-3g), they did not decrease pace when gravity decreased (3g-1g). We highlight asymmetric effects in the spontaneous adjustment of movement dynamics on short timescales, suggesting the involvement of cognitive factors, beyond standard dynamical models.
