Abstract

Introduction: musical interventions, such as choral singing, are artistic in character and are capable of promoting psychological and physiological benefits. There are no studies in the literature on the repercussion of choir on respiratory system parameters of practicing students compared to non-singers. Objective: compare respiratory system parameters between choir and non-choir children and adolescents. Method: cross-sectional observational study included students from 7 to 14 years old, with the intervention group constituted students of choir singing (GCC) paired with non-singing students (GNC). Anthropometric assessment was performed, followed by spirometry and
manovacuometry, according to ATS recommendations. For comparison between groups, absolute spirometric values and predicted values were considered, as well as respiratory muscle strength. Shapiro-Wilk test was applied and the
Mann-Witney U test and independent T-test were conducted, with a significance level of 5%. Results: 40 children (95% girls) participated, 20 in each group, with a mean age of 11.25 ± 1.80 years in the GNC and 11.20 ± 1.64 years in the GCC. Forced expiratory volume in the first second as a percentage of predicted (FEV1%) was higher in GNC (98.58 ± 12.62%) compared to GCC (87.10 ± 8.84%) (p = 0.001), GCC presented the highest absolute value of peak expiratory flow (PEF) (GNC: 4.21 ± 0.99l/s x GCC: 4.95 ± 1.29l/s; p=0.048). Conclusion: schoolchildren
singing in the choir did not present better parameters of pulmonary function and FMR, compared to non-singers.
