RESPIRATORY FUNCTION

This study tests whether combining semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (like phonating through a pipette) with breathing exercises (pursed-lip, segmental, and diaphragmatic breathing) can improve how long conservatory students can sustain a note and their overall lung function. P…

This study looked at whether special breathing exercises could help children with cerebral palsy (ages 5-18) breathe better, improve their balance, arm use, and swallowing. Twenty children with mild to moderate CP took part. The goal was to see if these exercises could make every…

This study looked at whether Pilates exercises can improve core strength, lung function, and overall fitness in healthy older adults aged 60 to 77. Twenty-nine participants were split into three groups: one did Pilates, one walked on a treadmill, and one kept their normal routine…

This study tested whether breathing in dry salt particles (halotherapy) during preseason training could improve lung function and running performance in elite female soccer players. Twenty-eight players from the Turkish Women's First League were split into two groups: one did sta…

This study tested whether using a digital incentive spirometer (TryBreath) for 3 weeks could improve lung function and breathing muscle strength in 30 healthy adults aged 18 to 45. Participants used the device with a mobile app that gave real-time feedback. Researchers measured c…

This study looked at 28 people treated for head and neck cancer to see if neck muscle endurance is related to swallowing problems, breathing, and mouth pressure. Participants completed tests like a neck endurance test, swallowing evaluation, and lung function tests. The goal was …

This study looked at whether people with bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) have worse lung function, breathing muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality compared to healthy people. Researchers tested 34 adults using breathing tests, balance assessments, and sleep questionna…

This study looked at whether a 6-week core stabilization exercise program could improve trunk muscle endurance, breathing function, and quality of life in children and teens aged 9-17 who play underwater rugby. Thirty participants were split into two groups: one did core exercise…
