Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Circuit Training program	Circuit Training program	circuit training for 4 weeks
Continuous aerobic exercise Group	Continuous aerobic exercise Group	aerobic exercise for 4 weeks

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Forced vital Capacity (FVC)	4th week	Changes From the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced vital Capacity in Liters
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)	4th week	Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze peak expiratory flow PEF in Liter/second.
6 min walk test: Distance (meters)	4th Week	Changes from the baseline, 6 min walk test (6 MWT) 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 without any support.
Step test	4th Week	The Step Test is designed to measure a person's aerobic fitness. Participants step up and down, on and off an aerobics- type step for THREE minutes to increase heart rate and to evaluate the heart's recovery rate during the minute immediately following the step test exercise. Changes from the baseline to 4th week.; for Age 56-65 heart rate recovery rate in beats per minute fit score: Excellent\< 89, Above Average 90-100, Average 101-111, Below Average 112-122, Poor \> 123
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)	4th Week	Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second FEV1 in Liters
