Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Concentration of Plasma Serum vitamin D level (25OHD)

    It is performed by Laboratory BioPlex® 2200 System

    It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

  • Description of Functional capacity efficiency

    Cooper 12-Minute Walk Test (12MWT)

    It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

  • Intensity of non specific muscle pain (myalgia)

    A 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the patients' pain , with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst pain imaginable

    It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

  • Description of the improvement in Quality of life

    The Short form health survey (SF-12)is often used to compare health status between groups of patients, to indentify predictors of health status

    It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

Study Arms (3)

Group (A)

EXPERIMENTAL

Included 15 patients who are participating in an aerobic interval training exercise program with vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol 400 IU/day). The aerobic interval training is conducted for one hour, three days per week on a total period of 12 weeks.

Other: aerobic interval training and Vitamin D supplementation,

Group (B)

EXPERIMENTAL

Included 15 patients who are receiving vitamin D supplementation only . One capsule containing (cholecalciferol 400 IU) was taken every day for 12 weeks

Drug: Vitamin D supplementation only

Group (c)

EXPERIMENTAL

Included 15 patients who are participating in an aerobic interval training exercise program only. The aerobic interval training is conducted for one hour, three days per week on a total period of 12 weeks.

Other: aerobic interval training only

Interventions

The participants in both groups A will be instructed to perform aerobic interval exercises at 70% maxHR for 5 minutes and then decrease activity to 50% for 5 minutes and repeat for the length of the activity (the training will be done by using bicycle ergometer(Biodex LBC, Biodex Inc., New York).• Before starting training ; Maximum heart rate calculated from the following equation: maxHR= 220-age . * Duration: the first five to ten minutes of each session were dedicated to warming up exercise on the bicycle in the form of slow progression exercise (to decrease the risk of hypotension, musculoskeletal injury and cardiovascular complications), followed by the active phase of exercise for 40 min., and finally cooling down phase for ten minutes. with intensity and speed decreased gradually until reaching the resting HR * Frequency: 3 days/week., for 12 weeks Also all participants in this group are taking gne capsule containing (cholecalciferol 400 IU) every day .

Group (A)

One capsule containing (cholecalciferol 400 IU) was taken every day .

Group (B)

The participants in group C will be instructed to perform aerobic interval exercises at 70% maxHR for 5 minutes and then decrease activity to 50% for 5 minutes and repeat for the length of the activity (the training will be done by using bicycle ergometer(Biodex LBC, Biodex Inc., New York).• Before starting training ; Maximum heart rate calculated from the following equation: maxHR= 220-age (Gellish ,2007). * Duration: the first five to ten minutes of each session were dedicated to warming up exercise on the bicycle in the form of slow progression exercise (to decrease the risk of hypotension, musculoskeletal injury and cardiovascular complications), followed by the active phase of exercise for 40 min., and finally cooling down phase for ten minutes. with intensity and speed decreased gradually until reaching the resting heart rate (Broderick et al.,2014). * Frequency: 3 days/week. The whole training lasting for 12 weeks

Group (c)

Eligibility Criteria

Age30 Years - 40 Years
Sexfemale

  • Patients taking drugs which affect vitamin D level as steroids and anticonvulsants drugs .
  • Musculoskeletal disorders which may affect their physical ability to do the exercises.
