What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| smart phone addiction group | Smart phone addiction will be assessed using the Smart Phone Addiction Scale short version (SAS-SV) evaluation of pulmonary functions and functional capacity evaluation craniovertebral angle |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
evaluation of pulmonary functions
Computerized spirometer is the most frequently used measure of lung function and is a measure of volume against time. It is a simple and quick procedure to perform
Measured: baseline only
Secondary outcomes (1)
evaluation of functional capacity
By 3 minutes step test It is based on the principles that your heart rate will return to normal quickly the fitter you are the value of post- exercise heart is considered to be an indicator to cardiovascular fitness
Measured: baseline only
