Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
6 min walk test: Distance (meters)
Changes from the baseline, 6 min walk test (6 MWT) was used to measure Functional capacity. It is a sub maximal exercise test which can aid in assessing functional capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters which an individual covers in 6 min without any support.
Step test
The Step Test is designed to measure a person's aerobic fitness. Participants step up and down, on and off an aerobics- type step for THREE minutes to increase heart rate and to evaluate the heart's recovery rate during the minute immediately following the step test exercise. Changes from the baseline to 4th week.
for Age 56-65 heart rate recovery rate in beats per minute fit score: Excellent< 89, Above Average 90-100, Average 101-111, Below Average 112-122, Poor > 123
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second FEV1 in Liters
Forced vital Capacity (FVC)
Changes From the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze Forced vital Capacity in Liters
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
Changes from the Baseline, the digital spirometer is used in clinical setting to analyze peak expiratory flow PEF in Liter/second.

Intervention Description
The 4 weeks Circuit Training program, it will be of 3 times per week. Each CT workout includes 6 stations per circuit Training. Before the training period, all participants underwent an exercise familiarization session to ensure proper execution of technique.
The 6 stations will be included as 40 lb. carry for 100 ft., 3-min stair climb, 45 s plank pose, 20 lb. carry with a fast walk for 100 ft., right and left single leg stands for as long as balance was maintained, and a 15 lb. carry up and down 30 stairs
