INTRODUCTION: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible, is usually progressive, and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. ‘Singing for Lung Health’ (‘SLH’) incorporates breathing and vocal exercises comparable with those used by respiratory and speech and language therapists to support optimum breathing and vocalizing. AIM OF STUDY: To find the effect of Singing for Lung Health in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methodology: Articles from different search engines like PubMed, Google Scholar, and Research Gate are being reviewed. Articles from 2018-2022 and those which are published in English and had open access are included. RESULT: Articles reviewed showed a positive effect of Singing on Lung Health. CONCLUSION: From the articles reviewed it can be concluded that Singing for lung health (SLH) plays an important role in improving lung function and quality of life in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients. SLH improves the well-being, confidence of the patient, sleep quality, minute ventilation, breath volume, breathing pattern, Hyperinflation, Inspiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity in a patient with COPD and reduce Dyspnoea score, Anxiety, Depression and Health care utilization in a patient with COPD. It can also be incorporated as a group rehabilitative program in the Physiotherapy field. There are very few recent evidences supporting this topic so more researches should be conducted on it. Keywords: COPD, Singing for Lung Health, Music therapy
Background: The physical activity of the college-going students is reduced due to online studies during COVID19 situation because of which their cardiorespiratory endurance has also decreased.Endurance depends on oxygen transportation, blood pumping and its regulation, and the capacity of the system to extract muscular oxidative potential. Buteyko Breathing Technique‟s (BBT) main aim is to reduce the tendency to over breathe or hyperventilate through control breathing and it is also termed as „Reduce Breathing‟. BBT raises CO2 levels, which reduces pulmonary ventilation, affecting the delivery of O2 to the tissue and cells. Hence, the aim of the study is to see the immediate effect of BBT on VO2max in college students. Methodology: After explaining the whole procedure to the subject between 19 to 25 years, written informed consent was taken and pre-data VO2max was calculated through Queen‟s College Step Test. BBT was conducted and post-data VO2max was taken immediately. Result: The paired t-test revealed a statistically significant increase in VO2max and a statistical decrease in pulse rate with P < 0.05.Conclusion: VO2max has increased significantly and Pulse Rate has decreased significantly immediately after BBT. Hence, there is an immediate effect of BBT on VO2max in college students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
