Brief Summary

To compare the effect of low volume high intensity training and moderate intensity continuous exercise on Rate Pressure Product (RPP) and functional capacity. Limited literature available on effectiveness of Low-volume HIIT in comparison of other Aerobic interventions in obese individuals. In our community, people are sedentary and not involved in routine exercise because of increased weight, so Low volume HIIT would be safe and convenient for such individuals to perform. There is also limited studies available on female gender so both genders are included in this study.

Conditions

Overweight and Obesity

Keywords

Low volume High intensity training; Moderate Intensity Continous Exercise; Rate Pressure product; Functional capacity; Increased BMI

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Rate Pressure Product

  Changes from baseline to 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the intervention, measured through product of heart rate and systolic blood pressure, is a very reliable indicator of myocardial oxygen demand. An RPP above 20,000 mmHg per minute is considered healthy, whereas anything below 16,000 mmHg is considered insufficient.

  2 weeks, 4 weeks

• Functional Capacity

  Changes from baseline to 2 weeks and 4 weeks after the intervention, measured through 6 min walk test (6 MWT). It is a submaximal exercise test that can aid in assessing the functional/exercise capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters that an individual covers in 6 min without any support.

  2 Weeks, 4 Weeks
