New publication alert!

We are happy to announce the publication of our article "A Pilot Study of the Effect of a Non-Contact Boxing Exercise Intervention on Respiratory Pressure and Phonation Aerodynamics in People with Parkinson’s Disease" in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.

This study looked into the effect of non-contact boxing exercises on respiratory values (maximum expiratory pressure and aerodynamic voice measures). Over the course of one year, the transglottal airflow and subglottal pressure did not change (neither improve nor deteriorate). However, after 9 and 12 months, the maximum expiratory pressure significantly increased. This points to a potential effect of the boxing program on the respiratory system.
