Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The FunFitness Program was developed in collaboration with the American Physical Therapy Association and it includes measures of flexibility, strength, balance, and aerobic Olympics. The program is designed to be delivered by physical therapists, physical therapy assistants, and students of these respective disciplines. The participating Special Olympics athletes and their coaches and families are made aware of any physical limitations identified during the screen, and both educational and therapeutic interventions are provided. Athletes who are identified as having significant limitations may receive a referral for formal physical therapy services or physician visit if indicated. Regular exercise is essential for physical and cognitive health, particularly in females. The FunFitness program, a novel exercise approach that incorporates music tempo, has gained popularity among gym-goers. This study will investigate the effects of the FunFitness program with music tempo on perceived exertion, flexibility, balance, and cognition in gym-going females.

This study design will be Randomized clinical trial. Forty-five gym-going females aged 18-30 who are consistently going to gym from previous six months will randomly assigned to the FunFitness program with fast music tempo, slow music tempo and no music group. The FunFitness program with music tempo was conducted three times a week for 6 weeks. In this study researcher will use RPE and Feeling scale for perceived exertion .Sit and Reach Flexibility Test and V-Sit to measure flexibility.
