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.本研究针对12名年龄介于30~55岁的全职职场工作者开展单组前后测预实验研究，受试者均为每日久坐时长≥6小时且存在足部水肿（pedal edema）症状的人群。研究采用目的抽样法筛选受试者，为其实施为期两周的针对下肢循环与活动能力的运动干预方案。本研究的主要结局指标为踝关节周径，于干预前后采用软尺进行测量评估。数据分析采用SPSS 26.0软件完成，通过夏皮罗-威尔克检验（Shapiro-Wilk test）进行正态性检验，并采用配对t检验开展统计学比较。结果显示，运动干预后受试者的踝关节周径出现具有统计学意义的降低：干预前平均踝关节周径为11.74±1.25 cm，干预后为11.42±1.14 cm，平均差值为0.32 cm（p=0.012）。上述结果表明，该结构化运动方案可显著改善受试者的足部水肿症状，具有正向干预效果。
