Detailed Description

This study will assess the physiological demands experienced by healthy volunteers participating in components of a Singing for Lung Health session. Oxygen consumption, heart rate, and fixed body sensor output puts related to balance and movement intensity will be assessed. The same parameters will also be assessed during walking on a treadmill at different speeds for comparison.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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)
Time Frame: Single assessment at baseline.
Assessed using portable metabolic measurement equipment (Oxycon Mobile made by Vyaire).
Single assessment at baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Heart rate during different components of Singing for Lung Health (physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).
Time Frame: Single assessment at baseline.
Assessed using a portable heart rate monitor.
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
Time Frame: Single assessment at baseline.
Oxygen consumption, in mL per kilogram per minute, will be assessed during different components of Singing for Lung Health(physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation. This will be compared with oxygen consumption while walking at three speeds on a treadmill (slow, medium and brisk). Oxygen consumption will be assessed using portable metabolic measurement equipment (Oxycon Mobile made by Vyaire).
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).
Time Frame: Single assessment at baseline.
Assessed with the McRoberts fixed-body sensor MoveTest device.
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).
Time Frame: Single assessment at baseline
Assessed with the McRoberts fixed-body sensor MoveTest device.
Single assessment at baseline
