Brief Summary

Physical inactivity is a key risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, negatively affecting emotional well-being by increasing psychological distress and reducing mental health. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a resistance-based physical activity program on physical and psychological outcomes in physically inactive adults.

Conditions

Healthy; Physically Inactive

Keywords

Strength; balance; depression

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Depression

  The Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) is a widely used self-report tool designed to measure depression, anxiety, and stress levels in participants. It consists of 21 items divided into three subscales: * Depression (e.g., feelings of sadness, lack of motivation) * Anxiety (e.g., nervousness, fearfulness) * Stress (e.g., tension, irritability) Each item is scored on a 4-point Likert scale, with the following options: 1. 0 = Did not apply to me at all 2. 1 = Applied to me to some degree, or some of the time 3. 2 = Applied to me to a considerable degree, or a good part of the time 4. 3 = Applied to me very much, or most of the time For each subscale, the scores range from 0 to 42 after adjustment.

• Functional Movement Screen Test Protocol

  a standardized assessment tool designed to evaluate fundamental movement patterns, identify asymmetries and weaknesses, and predict injury risk. The FMS consists of 7 movements: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability push-up, and rotational stability.Each movement is scored on a 0-3 scale, with 3 indicating optimal performance. The maximum total score is 21.

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

• Balance

  Balance was assessed using the Sensbalance MiniBoard (Sensamove®, Utrecht, The Netherlands), a movable platform that provides an interactive challenge to balance control. Participants performed two tasks, each completed twice and held for 30 seconds

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

• Strength tests

  Lafayette Manual Muscle Test System (Model 01165) was used to determine isometric muscle strength. The Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester (MMT) system is an ergonomic handheld device used to objectively measure muscle strength.

Exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

The 12-week resistance training program consisted of three supervised sessions per week, each lasting approximately 55-60 minutes. Sessions were structured as follows: 5-7 minute dynamic warm-up, 35-40 minutes of resistance training, and 4-5 minutes of stretching for active recovery. Participants were paired based on similar strength fitness levels and progressed according to the principle of periodized progressive overload.

Other: Resistance Training Program

control group

NO INTERVENTION

did not participate in any structured exercise program during the 12-week study period. The participants were asked to maintain their usual lifestyle habits.

Interventions

Resistance Training Program OTHER

The 12-week resistance training program consisted of three supervised sessions per week, each lasting approximately 55-60 minutes. Sessions were structured as follows: 5-7 minute dynamic warm-up, 35-40 minutes of resistance training, and 4-5 minutes of stretching for active recovery.Participants were paired based on similar strength fitness levels and progressed according to the principle of periodized progressive overload. Training was delivered using a circuit protocol with 2-3 sets per exercise. The initial 4-week phase included 2 sets per exercise, with 8-20 repetitions and 1-2 minutes rest between sets. .The program incorporated functional exercises targeting the lower extremities, core, and upper extremities, utilizing equipment such as resistance bands, medicine balls, jump ropes, dumbbells, bars, and stability balls. Participants performed exercises in a circuit sequence, with the intensity, number of sets, and repetitions
