PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 month follow-up and 6 month follow-up

Population: The number analyzed is different than the number of subjects in the participant flow because some participants were loss to follow up, withdrew from the study, or the data was not collected due to COVID-19.

Higher score of VO2 max indicates more oxygen consumption during incremental exercise.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, 3 month follow-up and 6 month follow-up

Population: The number analyzed is different than the number of subjects in the participant flow because some participants were loss to follow up, withdrew from the study, or the data was not collected due to COVID-19.

To start the TUG, you will sit in the chair with your arms resting comfortably on your lap or at your sides. The test begins when the therapist says "Go" and starts the stopwatch. You would then be timed as you rise from the chair, walk three meters, turn around, return to the chair, and sit down. The recorded time on the stopwatch is the TUG score. Measure to assess mobility. A faster time indicates a better functional performance. An older adult who takes ≥12 seconds to complete the TUG is at risk for falling.
