Clinical Trial Summary

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

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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	Heart rate during different components of Singing for Lung Health (physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).	Assessed using a portable heart rate monitor.	Single assessment at baseline.
Secondary	Comparison of oxygen consumption, in mL per kilogram per minute, achieved during each component of Singing for Lung Health with walking at different speeds	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.
Secondary	Movement intensity during different components of Singing for Lung Health(physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).	Assessed with the McRoberts fixed-body sensor MoveTest device.	Single assessment at baseline.
Secondary	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).	Assessed with the McRoberts fixed-body sensor MoveTest device.	Single assessment at baseline
