Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Eligible participants will be people aged 30 - 65 years with level 2 obesity live in Bangkok or central region. They will agree to participate in research. 2. Participants must have a body mass index within the following Asian population measurement criteria. Body mass index greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 is considered as obesity level 2. 3. Participants have obesity with a waist circumference of more than 90 cm. for males and more than 80 cm. for females. 4. Participants have obesity with a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) greater than 0.9 for males and greater than 0.85 for females. 5. FEV1 < 80% predicted for detecting and classifying whether results are abnormal. 6. Participants understand the procedures and follow them correctly.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Participants have any physical condition such as high blood pressure an abnormal pulse such as having a resting hypertension with systolic > 200 mmHg or diastolic >110 mmHg and abnormal pulse such as having a resting pulse tachyarrhythmias with uncontrolled ventricular rates. 2. Participants have an abnormal, noticeable physical condition such as kyphosis of back 3. Participants have disabilities. 4. Participants have a history of respiratory disease, including sputum, cough for more than 3 months, fever, or cold on the experiment date. 5. Participants do not do any exercise within 3 months prior to participating in the study. 6. A force majeure such as an accidental injury or any illness that makes it impossible for participants to participate in the study. 7. Participants will participate in less than 80% of the training period for the intervention group. 8. Participants are unwilling to continue to participate in the study.
