Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: High Intensity interval Training<br> | Other: High Intensity interval Training<br>* High Intensity interval Training Frequency: 3-5 day per week Intensity: 60 to 80% of HRR. If atrial fibrillation present use RPE of 11-14 on a 6-20 scale. Time: total 30 mint time.6 mint exercise with high intensity and 2 mints of low intensity for active recovery until 30 mints complete. Type: walking and static cycling. Walking Frequency 3 -5 days per week Intensity : use RPE of 11-14. Time:30 mint total. 6 mint walk with high intensity and 2 mint walk with low intensity until 30mints completed.<br>|
| Active Comparator: Continuous Aerobic training<br> | Other: Continuous Aerobic training<br>* Continuous Aerobic training Frequency : 3-5 days per week. Intensity:40-70% of HHR. Time : initial 5-10 then 10-15 until 30mints without rest interval Type : walking and static cycling.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 6MWT Distance | Changes from the baseline, 6 min walk test was used to measure Functional capacity. It is a sub maximal exercise test which can aid in assessing functional capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters which an individual covers in 6 min. | 8 week | 
| Minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire | MLWHFQ is commonly used health related quality of life questionnaires with heart failure. This is very easy to apply on patients and self-administered questionnaire. It has two components emotional and physical and total score. Each item is scored in a 6.likert scale (0 to 5), thus, the total score could range from 5 to 105, with higher scores indicating more significant impairment in health related quality of life. Changes from the basline will be measured | 8 week | 
| Pulse Rate | Changes from baseline, Pulse rate was measured per minute through pulse oximeter | 8 week | 
| Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) | Changes from baseline SPO2 was measured in percentage. Oxygen immersion is the division of oxygen-soaked hemoglobin with respect to add up to hemoglobin in the blood. Pulse oximeter measure it. | 8 week | 
| Modified Borg dyspnea scale | Changes from the Baseline, It is a subjective numeric scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no dyspnea and 10 indicates unbearable dyspnea. A number is chosen by the patient in order to decide the best score that matches his level of dyspnea during physical activity. | 8 week |
