Purpose: RseultThis study aimed to examine the effects of using Phonation Resistance Training Exercises (PhoRTE) and Inspirator Muscle Strength Training (IMST) sequentially on voice outcomes of presbyphonia in older adults. Method: This was a single-subject experimental study on a 73-year-old female with a diagnosis of presbyphonia who received three baseline sessions and eight weekly sessions using PhoRTE and IMST. Primary outcome measures were acoustic voice quality index (AVQI), acoustic breathiness index (ABI), perceived vocal effort, and maximal vocal intensity (MVI). Secondary outcome measures were Aging Voice Index (AVI) and the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). Results: When comparing baseline to PhoRTE treatment phase, significant changes were observed in AVQI and ABI. When baseline was compared to the IMST treatment phase, as well as the whole intervention phase, significant changes were observed in all outcome measures. The percentage of nonoverlapping data (PND) for baseline vs. PhoRTE, and baseline vs. IMST was over 75% for all outcome measures. PND between two interventions (PhoRTE vs. IMST) was 100% for MVI, but non-significant for other measures. AVI score and CAPE-V ratings all reduced after the 8-week intervention. Conclusion: The preliminary results demonstrated the potential for using PhoRTE and IMST sequentially to improve voice quality and reduce vocal effort in patients with presbyphonia. Future research is needed to investigate effects of combining IMST with PhoRTE simultaneously is larger cohorts of older adults with presbyphonia and reversing the order of interventions.

Many voice pedagogy practices revolve around the notion of controlling airflow and lung volumes and focus heavily on the concepts of breath support and breath control. Despite this emphasis, the effects of increased respiratory muscle strength on airflow and phonation patterns in trained singers remain unknown. This study addressed whether singers could increase respiratory muscle strength with resistive training and whether respiratory muscle strength increases had any effect on voice and aerodynamic measures. A single subject design was used to answer the research questions. Improved breath support was hypothesized to manifest in differences in airflow, vibrato, and phonetogram characteristics. Six graduate-level singing students were recruited to complete the protocol which consisted of a baseline phase followed by either inspiratory muscle strength training followed by expiratory muscle strength training or vice versa. Results showed that these singers were able to increase respiratory muscle strength after completing the training program. Consistent changes in measures of aerodynamics and voice were not present among subjects, although some individual changes were noted. Future research may focus on the effects of respiratory muscle strength training in less advanced singers.

The demands placed on respiration during simultaneous exercise and speech creates the potential to increase dyspnea and the time for recovery. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) program on these two functionally limiting factors during simultaneous exercise and speech. Ten healthy adults were randomly assigned to an Experimental and Sham training program. MIP was used as an indirect measure of inspiratory muscle strength and measured at baseline and weekly during the training. All participants completed pre-and post-training simultaneous exercise and speech tasks at a moderate intensity. The results indicated a significant improvement in MIP across 4 weeks of training. Analysis pre-and post-training indicated no significant changes in dyspnea between the groups. A decrease was, however, observed in recovery time providing potential for functional gains for individuals who must complete exercise and speech simultaneously.
