Vocal loading challenge increases cepstral peak prominence in humans (small magnitude).
“Cepstral peak prominence increased with loading in both groups, but this change was of small magnitude and not clinically significant.”

Vocal loading challenge decreases lung volume initiation in humans.
“Younger adults, but not older adults, used lower lung volume initiations and higher lung volume terminations after loading.”
