Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Modified BORG Scale	The Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale is numerical rating scale ranging from 0 to 10 and is used to measure dyspnea that patient report during sub-maximal exercise and is regularly administered during six-minute walk test. Changes from the baseline will be measured	6 week
Primary	6 Min walk test (Distance in meters)	Changes from the baseline, Body Mass Index can be define as statistical index utilizing an individual's height and weight to give an estimation of muscle versus fat in female and male of all ages. It is determined by taking an individual weight in kilograms, separated by their height in meters squared, or BMI = weight (in kg)/height (in m square).	6 week
Primary	Peak VO2 with formula	A generalized equation can be used to determined peak VO2 (Peak rate of oxygen consumption). The generalized equation can be used to accurately estimate mean peak VO2 from mean 6 MWD, among groups of patients with diverse diseases without the need for cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The equation is: Mean peak VO2(ml/kg/mins) = 4.948 + 0.023*Mean 6 MWD (meter) Changes From the Baseline will be measured	6 week
Primary	Body Mas Index	Changes from the baseline, Body Mass Index can be define as statistical index utilizing an individuals height and weight to give an estimation of muscle versus fat in female and male of all ages. It is determined by taking an individual weight in kilograms, separated by their height in meters squared, or BMI = weight (in kg)/height (in m square).	6 week
Primary	Heart Rate recovery	Heart rate recovery (HRR) is a measurement of how quickly your heart can settle back into its normal state following a workout. It is the variation in heart rate between the time when you are exercising and when you stop.	6 week
Primary	Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale	Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale DASS (-42), The 42-item DASS-42 self-report scale was designed to measure the negative emotional states of stress, anxiety, and depression. As part of the larger process of clinical assessment, the DASS's main value in a clinical environment is to identify the location of emotional disturbance. The DASS's primary purpose is to evaluate the severity of the main symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.	6 week
Primary	Systolic and diastolic blood pressure	Changes from the Baseline, Systolic Blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) will be measured through sphygmomanometer	6 week
Primary	Change in blood lipid profile	Change in plasma total cholesterol, high density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL), and low density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL) after each treatment.	6 week
