Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will be screened through PAR-Q and IPAQ Questionnaire. Cardiac monitor will be used for assessing the cardiopulmonary parameters. SF-36 Questionnaire will be used for assessing the quality of life. Informed written consent will be taken after which participants will be recruited into two groups.
Control group will be provided aerobic exercise while interventional group will be provided Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique with aerobic exercise.
Outcome measures assessment will be done at pre-session, at 2 weeks and after 4 weeks post-intervention

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Interventional group
Patients in interventional group will receive Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique for 15 minutes and aerobic exercise for 30 minutes.
For Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique first patient is asked to clench each fist separately, fee the tension, release the fist and relax. Then bend each arm separately, feel the tension and then release the arm. Then straighten the arm separately, feel the tension and then relax. Then wrinkle the forehead, feel the tension and then release the eyebrows relax. Then close the eyes and screw the muscles around the eyes and then release. Then tense the jaw by biting the teeth together and relax. Then press the tongue hard and flat against roof of mouth, feel the tension and then relax. Then push the head back and then bring head back to position. Then bring the head down and then relax. Then shrug the shoulders and relax. Then take a deep breath, hold and then relax. Then tense the stomach muscle and then release. Then arch

Jacobaon's progressive muscle relaxation technique for 15 minutes Total duration: 45 minutes
Control group
The control group will receive only aerobic exercise for 45 minutes. Aerobic exercise will include warm uo exercises for 5 minutes, brisk walking on treadmill for 25 minutes which include warm up period for 10 minutes then 14 minutes brisk walk and cool down period included 1 minute walk, stepper for 5 minutes, static cycling for 5 minutes and cool down for 5 minutes.
Total 4 weeks protocol. Before and after 4 weeks, pre and post intervention values will be taken.
A total of 20 sessions five days per week for 4 weeks will be provided supervised by physiotherapist
Aerobic Exercise
