This study will investigate the extent to which singing affects balance and breathing. Singing therapy has potential as an adjunct or component of falls prevention programmes and in the treatment of breathing hypervigilance. Reducing fall risk, and levels of hypervigilance and anxiety could have widespread benefits on participants participation and quality of life. Investigators will aim to recruit both singers and non singers from older and younger adult age groups. Investigators will then be able to determine the balance response in untrained healthy young adults to understand the affects of singing training and aging on balance. The participants' balance will be measured via a force plate as they perform a series of speaking and singing tasks. Other outcomes will include breathing specific anxiety and attention to breathing, and balance specific anxiety and attention to balance.

Age group | 18 Years and older |
Eligibility | Inclusion Criteria: - For young adults: 18 - 35 years of age - For older adults: 60 years of age or older - The "Older Adult" age group will be defined as adults aged 60 and older, based on the specifications of the World Health Organization (2017). - The "Younger Adult" age group will be defined as adults aged 18 to 35 inclusive. There will be a buffer range of ages 36 to 59. This is being done to get a clear delineation between age groups. Exclusion Criteria: For all: - Any respiratory, neurological, cardiac disease or deficit (and are on regular medication for it), and/or mobility issues. - Have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 15 days (van Kampen et al., 2021) - Are diagnosed with Chronic COVID Syndrome - Conditions limiting the ability to stand for >1 minute independently (e.g., chronic fatigue, recent injury affecting balance) - Pregnancy (although this will not apply to older adults) - Conditions limiting participating in singing activities (aphasia, dysarthria, dysphonia, speech impairments) Investigating young adults allows to better isolate the effects of singing, as these individuals will not suffer from co-morbidities that may confound, modify or attenuate the effects. Conversely, the older adult group is relevant to study from a clinical point of view. |
