Brief Summary

To compare the effects of Circuit training and aerobic exercise on cardiopulmonary fitness among Sedentary elderly population

Conditions

Sedentary Behavior; Old Age; Debility

Keywords

Aerobic Exercise; Circuit Training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• 6 min walk test: Distance (meters)

  Changes from the baseline, 6 min walk test (6 MWT) was used to measure Functional capacity. It is a sub maximal exercise test which can aid in assessing functional capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters which an individual covers in 6 min without any support.

  4th Week

• Step test

  The Step Test is designed to measure a person's aerobic fitness. Participants step up and down, on and off an aerobics- type step for THREE minutes to increase heart rate and to evaluate the heart's recovery rate during the minute immediately following the step test exercise. Changes from the baseline to 4th week. for Age 56-65 heart rate recovery rate in beats per minute fit score: Excellent\< 89, Above Average 90-100, Average 101-111, Below Average 112-122, Poor \> 123

  4th Week

• Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)

  Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second FEV1 in Liters

  4th Week

• Forced vital Capacity (FVC)

  Changes From the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced vital Capacity in Liters

  4th week

• Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)

  Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze peak expiratory flow PEF in Liter/second.

Circuit Training program

EXPERIMENTAL

circuit training for 4 weeks

Other: Circuit Training program

Continuous aerobic exercise Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

aerobic exercise for 4 weeks

Other: Continuous aerobic exercise Group

Interventions

Circuit Training program OTHER

The 4 weeks Circuit Training program, it will be of 3 times per week. Each CT workout includes 6 stations per circuit Training. Before the training period, all participants underwent an exercise familiarization session to ensure proper execution of technique. The 6 stations will be included as 40 lb. carry for 100 ft., 3-min stair climb, 45 s plank pose, 20 lb. carry with a fast walk for 100 ft., right and left single leg stands for as long as balance was maintained, and a 15 lb. carry up and down 30 stairs

Circuit Training program

Continuous aerobic exercise Group OTHER

Continuous aerobic exercise Frequency 3 time per week Intensity 50% of Heart rate reserve Type continuous aerobic exercise Time 40 minutes

Continuous aerobic exercise Group
