Brief Summary

the study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of aerobic training for decreasing fatigue severity and increasing quality of life in elderly with idiopathic chronic

Detailed Description

idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF) or chronic idiopathic fatigue (CIF), this type of tiredness is ongoing and unrelated to any underlying medical or mental health issues. Different diagnostic criteria apply to people with idiopathic chronic fatigue and those with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Regular aerobic exercise has been demonstrated to improve cardiopulmonary fitness, increase physical activity levels, and decrease the degree of fatigue in elderly patients with severe idiopathic fatigue.

Conditions

Chronic Idiopathic Fatigue

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Aerobic training (group a)

In addition to the standard physical therapy exercise programme (which includes flexibility and balance exercises), twenty individuals with idiopathic chronic fatigue will participate in an aerobic training group and walk for 45 minutes on a treadmill three times a week for two months. The workouts began with a five- to ten-minute warm-up on the treadmill and concluded with an equally extended cool-down. Using the Karvonen method, for exercise intensities ranging from 60 to 75 per cent of heart rate reserve during a 35-minute group cumulative exercise session.
