Loaded breathing on stable and unstable surfaces

Participants will be instructed to perform 10 loaded breaths via a threshold inspiratory load device on both a stable surface (sitting on a chair, Protocol 1) and an unstable surface (sitting on a soft pad, Protocol 2) in random order. The inspiratory load/resistance will be set at 50% of the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP).
