Interventions

Intervention1: Modified Chair Surya namaskar: The subjects will perform the 12 asanas of surya namaskar using a chair. The surya namaskar will be performed till the Rate of Perceived Exertion reaches

duration for 12 asanas is for 25-30 mins

3 days/week for 4 weeks Control Intervention1: Circuit-based exercise: 3 workstations will be formed namely mobility and balance, Aerobic endurance and Leg strength. The exercises will be performed ti
