Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (IPAQ) Short Form
Time Frame: Eight weeks
This form will be used to measure physical activity levels. comprises a set of 4 questionnaires. Long (5 activity domains asked independently) and short (4 generic items) versions for use by either telephone or self-administered methods are available. The purpose of the questionnaires is to provide common instruments that can be used to obtain internationally comparable data on health-related physical activity. Higher scores indicates better physical activity level.
Flamingo Balance Test and Y Balance Test
Time Frame: Eight weeks
This will be applied for balance evaluation.To assess the ability to balance successfully on a single leg. A stopwatch, metal beam 50cm long, 5cm high and 3cm wide needed for test procedure.
