Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Physiological cost index. Timepoint: the outcome will be checked pre intervention then on 2nd and 4th week after intervention and finally on 6th week post intervention. Method of measurement: the formula to calculate the physiological cost index is exercising heart rate minus resting heart rate divided by walking velocity. ( heart rate will be recorded using a pulse oximeter and walking velocity will be measured using 6-meter walk test).
