Outcomes are maximum oxygen consumption and health related quality of life were taken at the baseline and 4 weeks after the treatment. Both the groups participants continued their medications during study period. Results: The post-test mean ±SD value of VO2max for Group-A is 38.64±4.18 and for Group-B is 47.98±5.58 this shows that Group-B is greater than Group A with P value 0.0171(p <.05).The post-test mean ±SD value of Health Related Quality Of Life for Group A is 9.80±1.92 and for Group-B is 6.60±1.14 this shows that Group-B is improved than Group-A.
