“…On the basis of the previous study, inspiratory muscles training can increase vital capacity and total lung capacity. 17 Whereas in this study, there was no significant difference between the inspiratory capacities of both groups although the average inspiratory capacity in singers was slightly higher. As mentioned previously, the expiration muscles are responsible in regulating airflow to produce voice via vocal fold vibration.…”

“…This raises the possibility that, besides the traditional device-aided respiratory muscle training, physical activity involving trunk and abdominal muscle may improve respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function. This is important for patients with respiratory muscle dysfunction such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or cystic fibrosis when they performing wholebody exercise [20,21]. Further studies will be required to confirm this issue.…”

Background: Abdominal muscle is the major expiratory muscle and play an important role in ventilation. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of abdominal muscle training on pulmonary function. Subjects were randomly assigned to low (n=7), moderate (n=7), and high intensity (n=7) groups and performed sit-up exercises at for 6 weeks. The intensity was set at 40% (low), and 80% (high) of the numbers of sit-ups they performed during 1-min sit-up test. Baseline and post-training measurements included pulmonary function, maximal inspiratory (PImax) and expiratory pressure (PEmax), and 1-minute sit-up test. Conclusions:The abdominal muscle training may enhance the ability of maximal ventilation through increasing expiratory muscle strength.

“…Ventilation occurs through the coordinated contraction of specific muscle groups, which in inspiration produces enough energy to distend the pulmonary structures [3,5]. In the healthy individual the ventilatory requirements during exercise, are easily achieved because the breathing muscles are anatomically suited for increasing ventilatory requirements and neural regulation of respiration is ideal [6].…”

Open Access Research ArticleVentilation occurs through the coordinated contraction of specific muscle groups, which in inspiration produces enough energy to distend the pulmonary structures [3,5]. In the healthy individual the ventilatory requirements during exercise, are easily achieved because the breathing muscles are anatomically suited for increasing ventilatory requirements and neural regulation of respiration is ideal [6].It should be emphasized that the accessory respiratory muscles are progressively recruited with the increased ventilatory demand. Thus, sharing the load required to bear hyperpnea, shallow and rapid breathing that occurs during exercise [6,7].Among the respiratory muscles recruited during exercise, the external intercostal sternum sternums are considered important because of their important postural and respiratory role in stabilizing and maintaining the shape and integrity of the rib cage when the ribs elevate and expand the chest during inspiration. The sternocleidomastoid is also considered by some authors the most important accessory muscle of inspiration along with the upper trapezius whose ventilatory role is to assist in the inspiration on effort helping to raise the rib cage [8].Understanding the physiological changes of the respiratory muscles before physical effort is a largely explored subject in exercise physiology. The proper functioning of these muscles results in an improvement of the performance of elite athletes, besides its great importance for chronic lung diseases, Parkinson's, and cardiovascular disorders whose clinical changes result in weakness of these muscles [9]. AbstractDuring exercise, the muscles involved inbreathing is progressively recruited due to increased demand in respiratory effort. Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a technique that allows evaluation of these muscles providing information on the recruitment of motor units. The aim of this study was describe the electrical activity of the upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and intercostal sternum muscles in active and sedentary young subjects during incremental exercise test. Cross-sectional research design, including 20 young adults of both genders, aged 18to 36 years participated of study. The EMG signal amplitudes were analyzed in the time domain from muscular activity of the upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and intercostal sternum muscles, in relation to the variation of the load imposed on the incremental exercise. A mixed linear adjustments model was used to study the effects of the load, groups (active and sedentary) and the interaction (load x group) .The results there was no significant difference between-groups and interaction effects (group x load). Significant increase in the EMG signal amplitude was however found during the increase of the load for the three muscles studied. There was an increase in the amplitude of the electromyographic signal of accessories respiratory muscles in relation to the load increase during incremental exercise test.
