What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

1. Change in Depression Score (PHQ-9) From Baseline to 6 Months.

   Depression severity was assessed using the PHQ-9 questionnaire ( patient health questionnaire-9), which consists of 9 questions rated on 4- points Likert scale from 0 (not at all)to 3 (nearly every day). the total score ranges from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating more severe depression,

   Depression Severity levels :

   Low depression severity (1-9 points) Medium depression severity (10-14 points) and High depression severity (15-27 points). The outcome measure represents the change in PHQ-9 from baseline (pre- intervention) to 6 months post-intervention.

   The change in depression score was calculated by subtracting the score at 6 months from the score at baseline. this calculation was performed for both the intervention and control groups to evaluate the effectiveness of the exercise- based intervention.

   Measured: Baseline (prior to intervention.) and 6 months after intervention.

2. Change in Anxiety Score (GAD-7) From Baseline to 6 Months.

   Anxiety severity was assessed using the GAD-7 tool (General Anxiety disorder-7), which consists of 7 questions rated on 4- points Likert scale from 0 (not at all)to 3 (nearly every day). the total score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety,

   Anxiety Severity levels :

   Low Anxiety severity (1-9 points) Medium Anxiety severity (10-14 points) and High Anxiety severity (15-21 points). The outcome measrues represents the change in GAD_7 scores from baseline (pre-intervention) to 6 months post- intervention.

   The change in Anxiety score was calculated by subtracting the score at 6 months from the score at baseline. this calculation was performed for both the intervention and control groups to evaluate the effectiveness of the exercise- based intervention.

   Measured: Baseline (prior to intervention.) and 6 months after intervention.
