Funfitness Program With Music Tempo on Perceived Exertion, Flexibility, Balance and Cognition in Gym Going Females

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) scale

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Illinois agility test is used to test running agility using various turns and movements Participants should lie on their front and hands by their shoulders. On the 'Go' command, the stopwatch is started, and the athlete gets up as quickly as possible and runs forwards ten meters to run around a cone, then back ten meters, then runs up and back through a slalom course of four cones. Finally, the athlete runs another ten meters up and back past the finishing cone, at which the timing is stopped. the point that best represents how hard you are working. The validity of RPE scale is 0.607. The reliability of this scale is 0.86.

  2. Feeling scale

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    While participating in exercise it is quite common to experience changes in mood.. A scale has been designed to measure such responses [experimenter presents scale]. This scale is presented as an 10 points bipolar good/bad format. At five-minute intervals you are required to select the figure that best represents your feelings . I will tell you when you need to respond to this scale

  3. V SIT

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The Vsit test is used to measure flexibility. In this test, the participant will sit on floorwith leg straight. Then the participant will lean forward and reach towards toes, keeping knees straight. Hold this position for 1-2 seconds. Return to starting position.

  4. Sit-and-reach flexibility test

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    The sit-and-reach test measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstrings. In the past, there has not been consensus with regard to the validity and reliability of the test. Nevertheless, recent studies suggest that the criterion-related validity of the sit-and-reach test is moderate whereas the reliability is suggested to be acceptable. In the present study, the sit- and-reach test was performed using the procedures outlined in the ACSM manual. (14) .The reliability of this test is 0.89-0.98.The validity of this test is 0.46-0.67.

  5. STAR EXCURSION BALANCE TEST

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    Dynamic standing balance will be assessed using the SEBT. Participants will be asked to stand on single leg in the center of star shaped figure on the floor. Then reach for points on the star with opposite leg, keeping the standing leg straight. Touch the point and return to the starting position. Repeat for all points on the star. Perform on both legs.
