17 Patients will perform Pilates exercises 40-60 mins, three times per week, over 8weeks. Pilates exercises include five movements: The Hundred, Single Leg Stretch, Side Kick, Toe Taps, and Leg Pull Front, all performed with structured breathing Patterns To Emphasize Respiratory Control And Core Stabilization

17 patients will engage in low-volume high-intensity interval training complemented by diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Each session begins with a 5-10 minute warm-up on a treadmill at 40% of heart rate reserve. The targeted heart rate during high-intensity interval training is set at 85-90% of heart rate reserve plus resting heart rate. Participants will complete 3-minute high-intensity interval training intervals at the specified intensity, alternating with 2 minutes of moderate-intensity recovery at 60-70% heart rate reserve. Total exercise duration is 25-30 minutes, concluding with a 5-minute cool-down at 30% heart rate reserve.

Breathing in slowly and deeply through the nose using the diaphragm with a minimum movement of the chest in a supine position with one hand placed on the chest and the other on the belly. During breathing, practitioners should be careful that chest remains as still as possible and stomach moves against the hand focusing on contracting the diaphragm. Generally, diaphragmatic breathing practitioners inhale and exhale for approximately six seconds, respectively
