Interventions
Group A Habituation exercises
Habituation exercises five times per week to improve overall wellness and reduce baseline symptoms of motion sickness (38). Each session, lasting approximately 20-25 minutes, involved exercises conducted for 20 minutes per day, five times a week. Each session, lasting approximately 30-45 minutes, included low-intensity breathing exercises aimed at promoting relaxation and moderate-intensity aerobic activities, such as walking or cycling, at 50-60% of the participant's maximum heart rate.
Group B Optokinetic training protocol
10-minute warm-up, followed by 20-25 minutes of moderate-intensity optokinetic exercises (viewing controlled moving visual patterns), postural exercises involving controlled head and body movements to engage the vestibular system, and gaze stability exercises, which require focusing on a stationary target during head movements to improve the vestibulo-ocular reflex. The session concluded with a 10-15-minute cool-down to aid relaxation. These sessions continued for 12 weeks
