In this small exploratory study from Bhutada et al. (2025), adults with moderate–severe OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) showed subtle but measurable changes in pharyngeal swallow biomechanics, even when their swallows were “safe.”

After just 4 weeks of EMST (expiratory muscle strength training), participants demonstrated improvements in how the upper esophageal sphincter opened, an important part of efficient swallowing.

While preliminary, these findings highlight two key points:
-OSA can affect more than breathing and sleep
-EMST may support targeted improvements in swallowing physiology for select patients

More research is needed, but this work opens the door for better identification, treatment, and support for people living with OSA.

New research continues to highlight the value of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) in asthma care.

In this randomized study of adults with asthma, both high- and low-intensity IMT,paired with standard pulmonary rehab,led to improvements in respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, dyspnea, and quality of life.

But here’s what stood out:

🔹 High-intensity IMT (80% MIP) produced greater gains in 6-minute walk distance, dyspnea scores, asthma control, and several quality-of-life domains.
🔹 Low-intensity IMT (30% MIP) still provided meaningful benefits, especially in increasing physical activity levels.

Takeaway: IMT is a powerful adjunct for asthma management, and intensity matters. Tailoring the load to patient goals, control vs. activity, may help optimize outcomes.

Conclusion from Benzo-Iglesias et al. (2025) “Respiratory muscle training improves ventilatory function, particularly respiratory muscle strength, in people with ALS. While evidence is limited, it shows promise as an adjuvant therapy to enhance quality of life and survival.”

A new study from Görünmezoğlu et al. highlights the systemic benefits of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT), even beyond the lungs.

In this randomized 6-week trial, individuals with chronic venous disease (CVD) who completed daily IMT showed significant improvements in:
-Inspiratory muscle strength (↑ MIP)
-Pulmonary function (↑ FEV₁/FVC, PEF, FEF25–75%)
-Lower extremity function and exercise capacity (↑ sit-to-stand, 6MWT)
-Pain and quality of life (↓ resting & activity pain, ↑ QoL)

Compared with thoracic expansion exercises, IMT produced greater gains in respiratory strength and functional mobility suggesting its potential role as a low-cost, accessible therapy for systemic recovery in CVD.

This study from Freeberg et al. (2023) suggests that high-resistance inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) may improve brain blood vessel function and memory in older adults with above-normal blood pressure.

After six weeks, participants who trained with IMST showed better blood flow response in the brain, higher nitric oxide (which helps vessels relax), and modest gains in memory.

These findings highlight IMST as a quick, effective strategy to support both cardiovascular and cognitive health in midlife and beyond.
