Vocal exercise physiology: same principles, new training paradigms

With singing defined as an athletic endeavor, the science of exercise physiology can be applied to look at ways we can more efficiently prepare for vocal performance. The principles of exercise physiology have endured as trainers and coaches test the many variables to find the optimal mix for a given sport or individual. Those who train and are trained in the art of singing, whether consciously or unconsciously, apply these same variables in the voice studio every day.
