简要总结
To compare whether the Qigong exercise or Wu Dang Tai Chi Chuan will be effective in improving exercise capacity and reducing stress in CVD-risk individuals. Based on preliminary data, Qigong and Tai-Chi may help treat anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with chronic illnesses as well as in healthy adults. Without the need for specialized equipment, Qigong and Tai-Chi are both readily adjustable mind-body exercises that may be done whenever and wherever. For this reason, Qigong and TaiChi should be extensively encouraged as ways to enhance emotional wellbeing
详细描述
Since no comparison study has thus far been carried out in Pakistan which includes both interventions and very little literature is available. They belong to a group of Chinese exercises known for their efficacy in reducing blood pressure, stress, and quality of life and improving exercise capacity in patients with a high risk of CVD or CVD disease. These techniques are cost-effective treatment approaches and provide early outcomes. The positive results of this study would be helpful in the near future.

结局指标
主要结局
Exercise Capacity
时间窗: 6 weeks
Changes from baseline to 6 weeks after the intervention, measured through 6 min walk test (6 MWT). It is a submaximal exercise test that can aid in assessing the functional/exercise capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters that an individual covers in 6 min without any support.
Stress
时间窗: 6 weeks
Changes from baseline to 6 weeks after the intervention, measured through Perceived Stress Scale. Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress.
