One repetition maximum was the outcome measure . this was  assessed at baseline    reassessed  at the end of 6 weeks. A  paired t-test was used to evaluate results within the group. Students’s t test was used for between the group analysis. the results of the study shows significant improvement in one repetition maximum with Delorme as well as the DAPRE group. DAPRE group shows statistically significant effects on strength gains on between group analysis (t =   p_<0.01). Within the group both the groups were significantly effective in one repetition maximum after the intervention (p_<0.01). The study concluded that Daily Adjustable Progressive Resistive Exercise (DAPRE) is recommended as it is having sustained effects at follow up.
