Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A total of 58 participants were selected and divided into two groups equally, namely, elderly, and young groups with the age groups of 60-80 years and 20-30 years, respectively. The Heart Rate (HR), Respiratory Rate (RR), Blood Pressure (BP), Oxygen Saturation (SaO2), and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) for each participant were assessed before and after the treatment session.

  • Other: Young isometric exercise
 N/A

Detailed Description

The elderly participants in the experimental group and the young participants in the control group underwent a single session of 5-minute quadriceps isometric exercise. The participant was asked to take rest of 10 minutes before performing the exercise. After that, the exercise was performed from a long-sitting position.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Elderly isometric exercise

Quadriceps isometric exercise.

Other: Exercises
The elderly participants in the experimental group underwent a single session of 5-minute quadriceps isometric exercise. The participant was asked to take a rest of 10 minutes before performing the exercise. After that, the exercise was performed from a long-sitting position.
Other Names:
  • Elderly isometric exercise

    		•
    Active Comparator: Young isometric exercise

    Quadriceps isometric exercise.

    Other: Young isometric exercise
    The young participants in the experimental group underwent a single session of 5-minute quadriceps isometric exercise. The participant was asked to take a rest of 10 minutes before performing the exercise. After that, the exercise was performed from a long-sitting position.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Blood Pressure (BP) [Change from baseline blood pressure at 1 day]

      Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured by a trained physiotherapist in the right upper arm using an appropriate-sized cuff at the baseline and the end of the intervention using an automated Dinamap MPS Select device (Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Respiratory Rate (RR) [Change from baseline respiratory rate at 1 day]

      Respiratory rate was assessed by visually observe for 30 seconds and multiply observed breaths by 2 to obtain breaths per minute (BPM).

    2. Oxygen Saturation (SaO2) [Change from baseline oxygen saturation at 1 day]

      Oxygen saturation was recorded using a finger pulse oximeter. The sensor was placed on the right index finger, and the values were recorded after at least two minutes.

    3. Heart Rate (HR) [Change from baseline heart rate at 1 day]

      Heart rate was recorded using a finger pulse oximeter. The sensor was placed on the right index finger, and the values were recorded after at least two minutes.

    4. Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) [Change from baseline mean arterial pressure at 1 day]

      Mean arterial pressure was calculated MAP as diastolic blood pressure (DBP) + 1/3 [systolic blood pressure (SBP) - DBP].
