Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	6 min walk test.	The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.	Six Weeks
Primary	IPAQ- quality of life	The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to evaluate the current physical activity level of the participants.	Six Weeks
Primary	VSAQ-exercise capacity	The VSAQ, capturing patient-reported outcome measures, is an efficient and quantifiable measure of exercise capacity that can be readily employed in clinical services particularly where patients have normal to high exercise tolerance	Six Weeks
