Interventions

  • Pilates exercises — OTHER
    17 Patients will perform Pilates exercises 40-60 mins, three times per week, over 8weeks. Pilates exercises include five movements: The Hundred, Single Leg Stretch, Side Kick, Toe Taps, and Leg Pull Front, all performed with structured breathing Patterns To Emphasize Respiratory Control And Core Stabilization
  • low-volume high-intensity interval training — OTHER
    17 patients will engage in low-volume high-intensity interval training complemented by diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Each session begins with a 5-10 minute warm-up on a treadmill at 40% of heart rate reserve. The targeted heart rate during high-intensity interval training is set at 85-90% of heart rate reserve plus resting heart rate. Participants will complete 3-minute high-intensity interval training intervals at the specified intensity, alternating with 2 minutes of moderate-intensity recovery at 60-70% heart rate reserve. Total exercise duration is 25-30 minutes, concluding with a 5-minute cool-down at 30% heart rate reserve.
  • diaphragmatic breathing exercise. — OTHER
    Breathing in slowly and deeply through the nose using the diaphragm with a minimum movement of the chest in a supine position with one hand placed on the chest and the other on the belly. During breathing, practitioners should be careful that chest remains as still as possible and stomach moves against the hand focusing on contracting the diaphragm. Generally, diaphragmatic breathing practitioners inhale and exhale for approximately six seconds, respectively

Arms

  • Experimental: Pilates exercises
    Patients will receive Pilates exercises administered to Group A include five movements: The Hundred, Single Leg Stretch, Side Kick, Toe Taps, and Leg Pull Front all performed with structured breathing patterns to emphasize respiratory control and core stabilization.
  • Experimental: low-volume high-intensity interval training
    Patients will receive low-volume high-intensity interval training. Participants will perform 3-minute High Intensity Interval Training intervals on a treadmill at 85- 90% of heart rate reserve, each followed by 2 minutes of moderate-intensity active recovery at 60% -70% of eart rate reserve. The total time spent in the exercise session is 25-30 minutes.
  • Active Comparator: Diaphragmatic breathing exercises
    Diaphragmatic breathing exercises involve inhaling slowly through the nose while keeping the chest still and allowing the diaphragm to move the stomach. This is performed in a supine position, with one hand on the chest and the other on the belly, ensuring minimal chest movement. Practitioners typically inhale and exhale over six seconds each.
