Treatment and study plan

High Intensity interval training + Quranic Listening

Other

In this group, participants will receive protocol of High Intensity interval training which includes squats, jumping jacks, front kicks and rope jumps 3 days per week for 6 weeks, including warmup and cool down session along with Quranic listening meditation.

High Intensity Interval Training

Other

In this group, participants will receive only High intensity interval training which includes squats, jumping jacks, front kicks and rope jumps 3 days per week for 6 weeks, including warmup and cool down periods with no Quranic listening meditation

Primary outcomes

  1. Modified BORG Scale

    Time frame: 6 week

    The Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale is numerical rating scale ranging from 0 to 10 and is used to measure dyspnea that patient report during sub-maximal exercise and is regularly administered during six-minute walk test. Changes from the baseline will be measured

  2. 6 Min walk test (Distance in meters)

    Time frame: 6 week

    Changes from the baseline, Body Mass Index can be define as statistical index utilizing an individual's height and weight to give an estimation of muscle versus fat in female and male of all ages. It is determined by taking an individual weight in kilograms, separated by their height in meters squared, or BMI = weight (in kg)/height (in m square).

  3. Peak VO2 with formula

    Time frame: 6 week

    A generalized equation can be used to determined peak VO2 (Peak rate of oxygen consumption). The generalized equation can be used to accurately estimate mean peak VO2 from mean 6 MWD, among groups of patients with diverse diseases without the need for cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The equation is:

    Mean peak VO2(ml/kg/mins) = 4.948 + 0.023*Mean 6 MWD (meter) Changes From the Baseline will be measured

  4. Body Mas Index

    Time frame: 6 week

    Changes from the baseline, Body Mass Index can be define as statistical index utilizing an individuals height and weight to give an estimation of muscle versus fat in female and male of all ages. It is determined by taking an individual weight in kilograms, separated by their height in meters squared, or BMI = weight (in kg)/height (in m square).

  5. Heart Rate recovery

    Time frame: 6 week

    Heart rate recovery (HRR) is a measurement of how quickly your heart can settle back into its normal state following a workout. It is the variation in heart rate between the time when you are exercising and when you stop.

  6. Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale

    Time frame: 6 week

    Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale DASS (-42), The 42-item DASS-42 self-report scale was designed to measure the negative emotional states of stress, anxiety, and depression. As part of the larger process of clinical assessment, the DASS's main value in a clinical environment is to identify the location of emotional disturbance. The DASS's primary purpose is to evaluate the severity of the main symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.

  7. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure

    Time frame: 6 week

    Changes from the Baseline, Systolic Blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) will be measured through sphygmomanometer

  8. Change in blood lipid profile

    Time frame: 6 week

    Change in plasma total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL), and low density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL) after each treatment.
