Interventions

Theraband resistance trainingOTHER

Three sessions of 30 minutes each was used to complete the intervention over the course of six weeks (two sets of 12 repetitions). The participants were warmed up by stretching for 10 minutes before each session Participants were advised to take 5 mins rest before moving to next movement if they would feel fatigued after one movement. Thera-Band was utilized in only three different colors for the workouts.

Conventional Resistance TrainingOTHER

The intervention was carried out over the course of six weeks in three sessions of 30 minutes each (two sets of 12 repetitions). The participants were warmed up by stretching for 10 minutes before each session. The resistance-training program was performed with Universal weights.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Hand Held Dynamometer

If testing techniques are consistent, handheld dynamometry is a valid approach to assess the strength state and change in strength status. Hand-held dynamometry can be a reliable assessment technique when practiced by a single experienced tester

Time frame: 6 week

Modified BORG Scale

The Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale is numerical rating scale ranging from 0 to 10 and is used to measure dyspnea that patient report during sub-maximal exercise and is regularly administered during six-minute walk test. Changes from the baseline will be measured

Time frame: 6 week

Chadler Fatigue Scale

It is a self-administered questionnaire for assessing the degree and severity of fatigue/tiredness in epidemiological populations, both clinical and non-clinical. The Chadler Fatigue Scale (CFS) was originally perceived as comprising two subscales that evaluate fatigue in the physical and mental domains. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = better than usual, 1 = no more than usual, 2 = worse than usual, 3 = much worse than usual), with higher scores indicating greater fatigue. Changes from the baseline are measured

Time frame: 6 week

6 Min walk test (Distance in meters)

Changes from the baseline, Body Mass Index can be define as statistical index utilizing an individuals height and weight to give an estimation of muscle versus fat in female and male of all ages. It is determined by taking an individual weight in kilograms, separated by their height in meters squared, or BMI = weight (in kg)/height (in m square).

Time frame: 6 week

The 30 Second Sit to Stand Test(30SSST) for lower limb strength

The 30-Second Sit to Stand Test evaluates older people's leg strength and endurance using a foldable chair without arms. Participants stand with feet positioned back from knees, arms crossed, and arms crossed. The examiner counts stand within 30 seconds, determining the score.
