4-7-8 breathing technique
Treatment will be given 18 exercise sessions per month (four to five times per week). The patient at first will be directed to sit or lie down, in which manner they feel sense of comfort. Then they are asked to exhale completely through mouth emptying their lungs. Then closing their lips and inhaling silently through nose while counting on the count of 4 seconds, holding their breath for a count of 7 seconds and exhale slowly through semi-closed lips making a Whoosh sound for a count of 8 seconds. Inhale, hold breath, and exhale ratio of 4:7:8. In aerobic protocol, F (frequency) subjects will receive training up to 18 exercise sessions per month (four to five times per week). I (intensity) subjects will receive training up to intensity of 70 to 75 %, T \& T (Time and Type) subjects will receive training up to 20 minutes of bicycling.
Stationary Cycling
In aerobic protocol, F (frequency) subjects will receive training up to 18 exercise sessions per month (four to five times per week). I (intensity) subjects will receive training up to intensity of 70 to 75 %, T \& T (Time and Type) subjects will receive training up to 20 minutes of bicycling
