Immediate Effects of Resistance Training on Velopharyngeal Function [PDF]
Resistance training is known to be an effective way to strengthen a given muscle. Based on the established principles of the resistance training paradigm, the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) as a means to strengthen the velopharyngeal
