The subjects were restricted to a minimum number of Sixty subjects consisting of Twenty men subjects would serve as control group and the remaining Forty would undergo systematic walking training and among forty, twenty for Low intensity walking group (LIWG) and remaining twenty for High intensity walking group (HIWG) at The M.D.T Hindu College, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu under the supervision of researcher.
