- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The main study parameter is the Baecke Questionnaire of a Person's Habitual Physical Activity. Baecke, Burema and Frijters (1982) developed a questionnaire for evaluating a person's physical activity within three distinct dimensions occupational activity (eight questions), sports activity (two questions), and leisure activity (six questions).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The secondary parameter is the Six-Minute Walk Test that evaluates the distance that a person can walk within six minutes on a flat, hard surface at their own preferred space (Butland, Pang, Gross, Woodcock, & Geddes, 1982; Lenssen et al., 2010). Participants will be instructed to cover as much ground as possible in 6 min. The distance that a person can walk reflects their functional capacity in every day life activities. This sub maximal test has been used in many disorders to measure both your pulmonary and cardiac functioning. The 6MWT is a practical simple test that requires a 100-ft hallway but no exercise equipment.
