Modifications were needed for the participants
especially for the participants who were not able to
perform some exercise items in a standard position
for 30 seconds. All participants were encouraged to
use media devices to access the internet site for this
exercise program to keep up with the order of the
HICET, the length of each station, and the
recommended resting time. This intervention was
an independent home practice. All participants
were instructed to perform a cycle of HICET one
time a day, 2-3 times a week non-consecutively for
8 weeks at a convenient time. The intensity was set
as medium to high, rated 6-8/10 on a visual analog
scale (VAS) where 0 is no intensity and 10 is
maximal intensity. They were also instructed in
keeping an active log that included the frequency
of HICET
