The EMST150 is the First Respiratory Training Tool Effective in Increasing Exhalation Strength in High School Musicians

For wind instruments, one of the most important factors in tone production is the use of air. Medical research has already shown that lung function and lung capacity are not entirely fixed and can be affected significantly through respiratory training. But the tests that have been done were concentrated mainly on inspiration improvement (synonymous with inhalation) UNTIL NOW.
 
Aspire Products, is proud to introduce to music programs around the country the EMST150 expiratory muscle strength trainer.
 
The EMST150 trainer is the first calibrated EXPIRATORY muscle strength trainer to have been tested with high schools students and proven to increase expiratory muscle strength (the muscles that control exhalation). Why is this important and what does it mean to high school bands around the world?
 
The first major figure in the music field to take advantage or respiratory training tool was Arnold Jacobs, former tubist with the Chicago Symphony and world-renowned breathing specialist. He was the first to introduce exercises designed to help wind instrumentalists improve their use of air or flow. Since Arnold Jacobs made his discovery, there have been a number of tools offered that concentrate only on building the muscles associated with inhalation. The EMST150 is the first tool available that is proven to build the expiratory muscles and can be used alone to improve both airflow and pressure. Exhaling stronger aides in reducing CO2 in the lungs, giving them more strength.
 
In one of the few studies to target musicians, and the first study to measure the effects of expiratory strength on musicians, a group of University of Florida researchers, led by Dr. Christine Sapienza, divided 40 high school band students into either an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group participated in a respiratory training program that consisted of 24 breaths per day with the EMST150. After training five days a week for two weeks, the experimental group saw an average improvement in maximal expiratory pressure of 47.5 percent. The control group saw no improvement.
 
Students can use The EMST150 to improve both flow, by following the prescribed high flow, low resistance exercises, and the ability to increase pressure, by following the prescribed high resistance exercises. Training materials, an informational brochure and an Instructional Video are included with every EMST150 Trainer.
