FREE Webinar: S.P.O.T. the Gains: Harnessing RMST to Leverage Transdisciplinary Goals

Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST) is more than a speech tool. Evidence shows it can drive outcomes across rehab, improving mobility, ADLs, endurance, quality of life, and community participation.

In this webinar, Ali Holmes, M.S., CCC-SLP, CBIS, BCS-S of Sheltering Arms Institutewill share a team approach to RMST and how it can:

-Enhance speech, swallow, and voice while supporting PT, OT, and RT goals
-Translate into measurable gains in independence and functional recovery
-Be integrated into transdisciplinary rehab programs using outcome measures and evidence-based strategies

This is a must-attend event for ALL rehab professionals-speech, physical, occupational, and respiratory therapists looking to optimize patient outcomes through collaborative care.

What happens when you combine respiratory muscle training with aerobic exercise?

A new study suggests that concurrent Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) + aerobic training can deliver faster gains in inspiratory strength, endurance, and even anaerobic performance, without extra training time.

Key takeaways:

* Improved diaphragm function, respiratory strength, and endurance in a short period
* Promising alternative for athletes and patients with time constraints
* Highlights the need for individualized IMT programs and longer-term studies

Çelik, Z., Güzel, N. A., Allahverdiyeva, S., Şendur, H. N., & Cerit, M. N. (2025). Effects of simultaneous aerobic and inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm function, respiratory muscle strength, endurance, and fatigue index: randomized-controlled trial. European Journal of Applied Physiology, 1-15.

*We look forward to seeing more research in this area. If you have any concerns before beginning training, please consult a healthcare professional.

Can training your respiratory muscles mean swimming faster?

A 2025 meta-analysis of 10 trials found that respiratory muscle training (RMT) significantly improves swimming performance.

Most programs trained at 50–80% of maximal inspiratory pressure for 6–8 weeks using pressure threshold devices.

With some device modifications for safety, Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) was found to be acceptable for tracheoesophageal speakers and may improve:
• Respiratory function
• Secretion clearance
• Vocal loudness
• Self-perception of communication

Want to cut time off your 400m?
New research shows that an inspiratory warm-up (IWU) can do just that for elite sprinters.
🔹 2 sets of 30 breaths at 40%–60% of max inspiratory pressure (MIP) = faster times
🔹 Training at 60% MIP = best performance boost
🔹 Training at 40% MIP = faster recovery
Your lungs might be the untapped edge you’ve been missing.

An 8-week inspiratory muscle training (IMT) program significantly enhances respiratory muscle strength and cardiovascular autonomic function in obese young men. These findings support IMT as a promising non-pharmacological approach to reducing cardiovascular risk associated with obesity.

Conclusion as per Benli et al. (2025):” Post-extubation IMT may improve not only inspiratory but also expiratory muscle strength and abdominal wall thickness. These findings suggest that IMT could support weaning processes in intensive care, although larger studies are needed.”
