Brief Summary

This study will assess the physiological demands related to Singing for Lung Health participation.

Conditions

Healthy

Keywords

Lung Health; Exercises

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Oxygen consumption in mL per kilogram per minute during different components of Singing for Lung Health(physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation)

  Assessed using portable metabolic measurement equipment (Oxycon Mobile made by Vyaire).

  Single assessment at baseline.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Heart rate during different components of Singing for Lung Health (physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).

  Single assessment at baseline.

• Comparison of oxygen consumption, in mL per kilogram per minute, achieved during each component of Singing for Lung Health with walking at different speeds

  Single assessment at baseline.

• Movement intensity during different components of Singing for Lung Health(physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).

  Single assessment at baseline.

• Changes in centre of mass during different components of Singing for Lung Health (physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).

  Single assessment at baseline

Interventions

Singing participation OTHER

Participants will follow a 15 minute protocol consisting of the components of a Singing for Lung Health class, and a short period walking on a treadmill.
