PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Change pre and post (after the 12 weeks)Back scratch test (cm). The Back Scratch Test is a measure of flexibility of your upper body. Place your right hand behind your back with your palm out and your fingers extended up. Reach up as far as possible and attempt to touch the fingers of your two hands together. Some people are not able to touch at all, while others' fingers may overlap. Position fingers so that they are pointing toward each other. The distance between the fingertips of one hand and the other is measured to the nearest half-inch. If fingers overlap, the amount of the overlap will be measured. Fingertips just touching receive a score of "0". If fingers do not touch, it is a negative score of the distance between the fingers, measured to the nearest .5 or half inch. It is a positive score if fingers overlap, measuring the overlap to the nearest .5 or half inch.

Timeframe: Pre and post (before and after the 12 week exercise program)The Short Form Health Survey - 36 items (SF-36) was used to measure day-to-day functioning and quality of life (Ware \& Sherbourne, 1992). The scale is composed of eight domain subscales (i.e., Physical Functioning, Role Limitations due to Physical Health, Pain, General Health, Energy/Fatigue, Social Functioning, Role Limitations due to Emotional Problems, Emotional Well-Being) scored from 0 (worst) to 100 (excellent).
