The Voice in Sports Coaches: Characterization of Vocal Perception and Vocal Hygiene Behaviors, Chile, 2022
Abstract
Introduction: Sport coaches constitute a segment of the population that works on their voices to fulfill their roles, explaining exercises and motivating their students during the classes. Objective: This study aims to describe the vocal perception and vocal hygiene behaviors of sports
coaches in Chile in the year 2022. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out with
thirty-eight participants aged 23 to 60 years of age from different regions of Chile. Normative values were estimated by analyzing the results of an online survey on vocal perception. Results: Based on the survey responses, most of the personal trainers who took part in this research are young adults currently working under a substantial vocal load. Positive factors such as good vocal hygiene habits were appreciated. However, a trend towards high caffeine consumption, poor sleep hygiene,
and exposure to unfavorable acoustic conditions in the work environment was noted. Despite these factors, there is a low incidence of vocal symptoms that could jeopardize that vocal health of these professionals. Conclusions: The present research work allowed us to know the reality regarding the self-perception of the voice of those who participated. In addition, recognizing the vocal symptoms within this population of professionals who heavily rely on their voices. The study successfully addresses the outlined objective.
