Abstract
To evaluate exercise capacity, velocity of gait and cardio respiratory status in recreational athletes who injuries rehabilitation of calf tears injury had received two different walkingexercises. Design: Randomized control trial.Subjects: Sixty seven male and female recreational athletes participated in the study and three dropped out. Interventions: Treadmill training and outdoor walking for three weeks.Outcome measures: Six minute walk test, ten meter walk test, pulse rate and blood pressure.Results: Participant compliances with their respective programs were 100%. There was significant difference in the mean increase of score of participants who performed out door walking and treadmill walking in 6 minute walk test (t=10.103, p< 0.0001 with 62df) and 10 meter walk test (t= 7.371,p <0.0001 with 62df).Further, there was no significant difference in pulse rate(t=0, p >0.9999 with 62df) and systolic blood pressure(t=1.890, p=0 with 62df), and diastolic blood pressure(t=0, p =0.9999 with 62df).Conclusion: Treadmill can be used as an effective option for improving exercise capacity and velocity of gait in rehabilitation of calf tears injury
