Publication Open Access Assessment of respiratory muscle strength in adult musicians and non-musicians(Mary Ann Liebert, 2025-05-05) Ibáñez Pegenaute, Ana; Ortega Moneo, María; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Antón Olóriz, María Milagros; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakThere is ongoing discussion whether, and how, playing a wind instrument influences lung function. Breathing is essential for sound production in musical instruments and raises questions about how intensive instrumental practice can influence the strength and function of respiratory muscles, as well as the potential incidence of respiratory disorders in wind musicians, who often perform prolonged respiratory effort. The effect of intensive wind instrument performance on respiratory function is uncertain and controversial. Some authors claim that wind instrument players may have better pulmonary function due to the continuous exercise of respiratory muscles.3 However, other studies have not observed any adverse or beneficial effects of instrumental practice on respiratory function, indicating the need for further studies in order to understand the relationship between respiratory function and musical practice. The main objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess respiratory muscle strength in musicians and nonmusicians. We hypothesized that respiratory muscle strength is higher in musicians than in controls, as playing a wind instrument influences lung function has shown positive effects in volunteers.Publication Open Access Effect and individual response to inspiratory muscle training program among instrumentalist musicians(Frontiers Media, 2024-12-18) Ibáñez Pegenaute, Ana; Ortega Moneo, María; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Antón Olóriz, María Milagros; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakIn this quasi-experimental before-after trial, we investigated the effects of a high-intensity, low-repetition inspiratory muscle training (HI-LRMT) protocol on respiratory muscle strength in instrumental musicians. In addition, was to estimate the prevalence of “non-responders” (NRs) in terms of muscle force after intervention. Healthy musicians (n = 48) were divided into 2 groups: HI-LRMT (n = 33) and a control group that did not train (CG, n = 15). The intervention training was a high-intensity, low-repetition inspiratory muscle training program using the PowerBreathe® threshold load pressure device, 2 daily sessions of 30 repetitions per session, with a minimum frequency of 5 days per week, for 12 weeks, 5 min per session. The primary outcome measures were maximal inspiratory pressure and expiratory pressure. Change in PImax over 12 weeks for HI-LRMT vs. control was 30.9 (95% CI 25.5–38.3), with the large effect, confirming worthwhile benefits (ηp2 = 0.61). There were significant changes in PEmax 37.3 (95% CI 19.3–48.1), with a large effect size (ηp2 = 0.33). A third of the participants did not demonstrate improvements in terms of muscle force in instrumental musicians. In conclusion, a 12-week high-intensity, low-repetition inspiratory muscle training program using the PowerBreathe® threshold load pressure device, improved inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength in instrumental musicians.
