Speaking while performing physical work tasks is known to decrease ventilation, which may in turn, impair speech fluency. The purpose of this study was to determine how speech fluency is affected during a simultaneous speech and work task performed at two work intensity levels. Twelve healthy participants performed steady-state work tasks at either 50% or 75% of VO2 max (maximal O2 uptake) for a total of six minutes after completing a rest-to-work transition period. Initially the participants did not speak, but when they returned for further testing, a similar task was completed with the addition of speaking. Results demonstrated significant differences in dyspnea ratings, number of words per phrase, and number of inappropriate pauses between the two intensity levels. The speaking condition influenced all variables except heart rate. The higher intensity task was more challenging for the participants and had the greatest impact on speech fluency.
