Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physical Fitness	10 minutes	The 8-Foot Up-and-Go test: This is measured in time (seconds) and reflects agility and dynamic balance.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Kinesiophobia	15 minutes	Kinesiophobia was assessed in all participants using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK). The TSK is a self-completed questionnaire and the range of scores are from 17 to 68 where the higher scores indicate an increasing degree of kinesiophobia.
Balance	15 minutes	The Timed Up and Go Test was used to assess the balance performance of people during the movement. For the starter position, a participant sits in a chair with standard height, measuring a distance of 3 meters from the chair. The test timer starts by the clinician at the moment the clinician said "go", the participant gets up from a chair, walks 3 meters, turns 180° a designed spot, walks back to the seat, when the participant sits down then the test stopped.
