Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Continuous Aerobic Exercise training Group	Continuous Aerobic Exercise training Group	Continuous aerobic exercise for 4 weeks
Interval Aerobic Exercise training Group	Interval Aerobic Exercise training Group	Interval Aerobic Exercise for 4 weeks

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)	4th Week	BRS is the index which is used to quantify the control of baroreflex on the heart rate. Patient's beat to beat arterial pressure and heart rate are measured simultaneously with the Maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) manoeuvre or valsalva manoeuvre. Changes from the baseline to 4 week will be analyzed
Heart rate reserve (HRR)	4th Week	It is the difference between resting heart rate and maximum heart rate. HRR is primarily use to determine heart rate zone for exercise. HRR can be calculated by subtracting resting heart rate from maximum heart rate. Changes from the baseline to 4 week will be analyzed
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure	4th week	Changes from the Baseline, Blood pressure is measured through sphygmomanometer

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
QOL Index-Spinal cord injury version questionnaire	4th Week	QOL index spinal cord injury version is used to assess the quality of life of spinal cord injury patients. It has 32 to 37 items. Each item is rated on scale of 1 to 6.5 scores of 0-30 are calculated.1) quality of life, 2) health and functioning, 3) social and economic life, 4) physiological life, and 5) family life. Changes from the baseline to 4th week will be analyzed
Oxygen saturation	4th Week	Amount of oxygen in the blood is known as oxygen saturation. normal range is 94-99 percent. Pulse oximeter is used to measure oxygen saturation. Changes from the baseline to 4 weeks
Pain perception	4th week	Pain is defined as unpleasant sensation which is generated by body as a protective response to prevent further tissue damage. It will be measured with the help of Numeric pain rating scale ranging 0 to 10. where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable. Changes from the baseline to 4 week will be analyzed
Exercise self-efficacy	4th week	It is defined as how much an individual consider he eligible to perform the given exercise. Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Exercise Self Efficacy scale will be provided to the individuals at the baseline and then after 72 hours i.e 3 days of training/week. It has total of 10 questions which allow the participants to indicate on four point scale how much confident they are about the exercise.
