Dataset of Efficacy of exercise protocol for prolonged high sitting induced Edema in the working professional

A pre-test post-test single group Pilot experimental study was conducted on 12 participants aged 30–55 years, who were full-time working professionals sitting ≥6 hours/day and exhibiting signs of pedal edema. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. An exercise protocol targeting lower limb circulation and mobility was administered over two weeks. The primary outcome measure was ankle joint circumference, assessed using a measuring tape before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0, applying the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality and paired t-test for statistical comparison. A statistically significant reduction in ankle circumference was observed following the exercise protocol. The mean pre-intervention circumference was 11.74±1.25 cm, and post-intervention was 11.42±1.14 cm, with a mean difference of 0.32 cm (p=0.012). This result indicates a significant positive effect of the structured exercise program in reducing pedal edema among participants.
