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

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.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy adult
* Able to undertake singing components
* Able to undertake walking test
* No contraindications to exercise
* No contraindications to spirometry as per American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society criteria
* Capacity to consent to exercise testing.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Any health condition that would preclude them from singing or impede physical activity
* Inability to comply or follow singing exercise instructions
* Active musculoskeletal disease impairing exercise.

Primary outcomes:
measure: 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)
timeFrame: Single assessment at baseline.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Heart rate during different components of Singing for Lung Health (physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).
timeFrame: Single assessment at baseline.
measure: Comparison of oxygen consumption, in mL per kilogram per minute, achieved during each component of Singing for Lung Health with walking at different speeds
timeFrame: Single assessment at baseline.
measure: Movement intensity during different components of Singing for Lung Health(physical warm up, rhythm exercises, pitch exercises, vocal exercises, repertoire and relaxation).
timeFrame: Single assessment at baseline.
