Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Physical Fitness consist of muscle strength, mucsle endurance and balance. Timepoint: At the begining of the study, after 12 weeks and one year ( At the begining the duration of the follow up was 6 months but after covid 19 pandemic, sampling was incomplete and the time of final assessment was changed from 6 month to one year. According to ethnic principles and to avoid endangering patients to come to Rasool Akram Hospital, which is the center of Corona, final assessments were performed by video call at home and inevitably, unmeasurable variables at home were eliminated in the final evaluation.). Method of measurement: Muscle Strength by Dynamometer & Weight Machine, Muscle Endurance by 6 MWT( 6 minute walk test), Balance by Berg Balance Scale. Senior Fitness Test to Strength, Flexibility, Agility, Cardiopulmonary Fitness, Dynamic Balance.;Respiratory Capacity. Timepoint: At the begining of the study , after 12 weeks (Inevitably final assessment was eliminated due to covid 19 pandemic). Method of measurement: Spirometry.	—
