Summary
Objective
There is limited research on voice problems of athletes, especially Kabaddi athletes
who use their voice during Kabaddi exercises and may damage their vocal folds and
impair their voice quality. The present study aimed to compare maximum oxygen uptake
(VO2max) and rating perceived exertion (RPE) in Woman's Kabaddi athletes without breathy
voice (BV) to severe BV.
Materials and Methods
Seventy woman's Kabaddi athletes (mean age of 20.5 ± 2.7 years, height of 163 ± 3.6
cm, weight of 61.4 ± 5.4 kg) at the club and national team level (without BV to severe
BV) were compared in this study. Data were collected by imaging the larynx by a stroboscopic
device (there is gap and asymmetry between vocal folds, presence of mass on vocal
folds, muscle tension dysphonia, hoarseness, and harshness), evaluating the voice
parameters by Vocal Assessment software (mean F0 (Hz), F0SD (Hz), jitter (%), shimmer (%), Normal Noise Energy (NNE) (dB)), and calculating
VO2max by Bruce treadmill test. RPE was calculated by a 15-point (6–20) Borg test.
Results
The results showed that 39 (55.17%) subjects had moderate and high BV symptoms and
31 (44.28%) had no symptoms of BV and low BV. The mean fundamental frequency in the
group with moderate and severe BV was equal to 2.59 Hz opposite the mean fundamental
frequency in the group without BV and low BV was equal to 0.65 Hz, and in contrast,
the jitter (0.47%) opposite (0.19%) and the shimmer was equal to (6.64%) opposite
(0.67%) and the NNE was equal to (−3.08 dB) In front of (−11.95 dB). There was no
significant difference between VO2max in two groups of Woman's Kabaddi athletes as
well as RPE in two groups of Woman's Kabaddi athletes at significant level of P ≤ 0.05.
Conclusions
Severe BV is affected by voice abuse. Voice abuse during Kabaddi is negatively affecting
the quality of voice. After Kabaddi sport, athletes are complained from obstruction,
hoarseness, and harshness due to disturbances in vocal folds and throat dryness. According
to the data obtained from this study, abuse has a negative effect on vocal folds,
which is followed by BV in various degrees in Kabaddi athletes.
