Brief summary
Obesity is defined as BMI more than or equal to 30kg/m2. It is responsible for manifestation of serious health problem. Accumulation of adipose tissue in thorax and abdomen causes stiffness of chest, reduction in lung compliance and favoring airway closure. As result, reduction in lung volume and capacity occurs which requires increased breathing to maintain adequate oxygenation. These changes lead to limitations in activities of daily life. A Randomized Control study will be conduct to see the effects of Pilates exercise and pursed lip breathing to improve the breathing and thoracoabdominal expansion. The study will be completed within 10 months after approval of synopsis. The sample size of 34 subjects will be taken: 17 with Pilates method and 17 without Pilates method with 12% attrition rate. Pre assessment and Post assessment will be made through IPAQ questionnaire for physical activity measurement, Borg's scale (CR-10) for dyspnea measurement and Cirtometry for thoracoabdominal expansion. Study will be conducted at Star gym for women Al-Rehman Garden community, Lahore. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 25.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Borg scale (CR-10) Questionnaire | 12 Weeks | It is valid questionnaire and is used to measure level of Dyspnea |
| Thoracoabdominal expansion measurement through tape measuring tool (cirtometry). | 12 Weeks | Thoracoabdominal expansion will be measured by means of cirtometry (tape measuring) by measuring three regions (axillary, xiphoid and abdominal). |
| Physical activity measurement through IPAQ questionnaire( International Physical Activity Questionnaire | 12 Weeks | It is standardized Questionnaire to evaluate the Physical Activity of subjects. Before starting of study, the activity behavior of the participants will be monitored through IPAQ questionnaire) |
