| Popis: | Summary At high altitude, low oxygen partial pressure predisposes human body to hypobaric hypoxia that may lead to high-altitude illness. Currently, singing had been used for rehabilitation of patients with lung diseases but its role in high-altitude low oxygen environment is still scarce. This study aims to examine the effect of singing in improving oxygen saturation at different levels of high altitudes in a hypobaric chamber. Eight healthy volunteers were assigned to three interventions at three simulated altitudes (sea level, 3000 m and 5000 m). The oxygen saturation (SpO2) was measured via pulse oximetry under three conditions: no singing (NS), singing aloud (SA), and singing silently (SS). The “birthday song” was used as the standard song for 4 minutes. At sea level, mean NS SpO2 was 97.75% ± 1.04%. With SS, the level increased to 98.25% ± 1.04%. Mean SA SpO2 increased to 98.38% ± 0.92% (P |
