Participants registered with conveniently and were divided into two groups, labeled Group A and Group B, assigned to undertake 12-week of physical and online training programs, respectively. Pre and post Postural Sway was measured. The SPSS version 25 was used to get validated frequency, percentage, standard deviation and paired t-test was used. Result: The training had a positive impact on the participants' ability to maintain balance and control sway in different directions.
