Study Groups

aerobic training

3 sessions per week,40 mints each session, mild to moderate intensity exercise

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

traidmail

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Patients in this group were instructed to sit on a stationary bicycle ergometer. The patients will be given explained the aerobic interval exercise training program and the intensity will be assessed using a modified Borg scale

laser puncture therapy

There were three sessions per week, each lasting 40 minutes. Five minutes later, a laser probe was applied to the acupuncture sites on the leg.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

laser puncture therapy

Intervention Type: DEVICE

This group's patients were all exposed to LLLT utilising Phyaction CL Phyaction, Bilzen, Belgium, which had the following specs: frequency 500 Hz, output 5-20 MW, wavelength 905 nm. For five minutes, a laser probe was applied to acupuncture sites
