Brief Summary

To determine the effects of Short duration moderate intensity soleus push- ups VS Sustained Soleus Push-ups on lipid profile among Young Population.

Detailed Description

The soleus muscle is a special type of muscle in our body that uses blood glucose for energy. It can work for a long time without getting tired. This muscle does not store energy like other muscles do. Instead, it directly uses the glucose in our blood.

Soleus push-ups are a type of exercise that targets this muscle. They could be really useful to stimulate our metabolism and keep blood lipids under control. Some studies suggest that doing soleus push-ups for a long time can positively affect our blood.

But we're not sure how different types of soleus pushups affect our blood fats. That's what this study wants to discover. We want to compare how doing sustained soleus curls for a long time compares to doing shorter, moderate intensity soleus curls. We want to see if the shorter ones can give us similar or even better results in improving our blood fats.

By conducting this study, we hope to learn more about how specific exercises can help us keep our hearts healthy and blood fats in balance. We will take a close look at the data we collect and use it to understand what type of exercise might be best for improving our blood fat levels.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Short Duration Moderate Intensity Soleus Push-ups (Group A)	Short Duration Moderate Intensity Soleus Push-ups	Moderate physical activity involving weighted soleus push-ups performed till patient MHR is achieved.
Sustained Soleus Push-ups (Group B)	SUSTAINED SOLEUS PUSH-UPS	sustained soleus push-ups will be performed for up to 270 min.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Lipid Profile	baseline to 6 hours	The primary outcome measure will be the change in lipid profile parameters, including total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, measured before and after the intervention period. This will provide insight into the direct impact of short duration moderate intensity Soleus push-ups vs sustained Soleus push-ups on lipid metabolism among young individuals.
