Intervention 1: The intervention group 1 received a 12-week routine stretching and strengthening exercise program comprised of three 60-80-min sessions per week. The training program only included upper quarter exercises. Strengthening exercises targeted the perscapular muscles, thoracic spine extensor muscles, neck flexor muscles but not lumbopelvic muscles. Participants performed three sets of 10 repetitions of all strengthening exercises. The stretching portion of the intervention aimed at increasing the flexibility of the pectoralis muscles, cervical neck extensors and hamstring muscles. Each subject first warmed up with light aerobic activity and general stretching exercises for five minutes. After these exercises, participants cooled down with general stretching exercises and slow walking for five minutes. Intervention 2: The intervention group 2 received a 12-week comprehensive stretching and strengthening exercise program comprised of three 60-80-min sessions per week. Strengthening exercises targeted the perscapular muscles, thoracic spine extensor muscles, neck flexor muscles and lumbopelvic muscles. Participants performed three sets of 10 repetitions of all strengthening exercises. The stretching portion of the intervention aimed at increasing the flexibility of the pectoralis muscles, cervical neck extensors and hamstring muscles. Each subject first warmed up with light aerobic activity and general stretching exercises for five minutes. After these exercises, participants cooled down with general stretching exercises and slow walking for five minutes. Intervention 3: Control group: no revived intervention. Only to continue their daily activities.
