1. A computer-implemented method of guiding a user to achieve musculoskeletal pulsation, the computer-implemented method, configured to be executed by one or more processors, comprising:
receiving a cardiovascular cycle signal from a first sensor;
determining a heart rate of the user based on at least a portion of the cardiovascular cycle signal;
receiving a rhythmic musculoskeletal activity timing signal from a second sensor;
determining an actual musculoskeletal activity cycle (MSKC) to cardiovascular cycle (CC) timing relationship based on the cardiovascular cycle signal and the rhythmic musculoskeletal activity timing signal;
comparing the actual MSKC to CC timing relationship to a target MSKC to CC timing relationship;
providing a recurrent prompt to the user as a timing indication for performance of a rhythmic musculoskeletal activity to guide the user to achieve a musculoskeletal activity cycle rate (MSKR) that approaches the target MSKC to CC timing relationship; and
altering a feature of the recurrent prompt based on a determined alignment between the actual MSKC to CC timing relationship and the target MSKC to CC timing relationship.
