Volunteers will be randomly distributed to one of the 3 groups. Each group will contain 30 participants. 1. group will make aerobic exercise which is in the form of high intensity interval exercise 2.group will make aerobic exercise which is in the form of moderate intensity continuous exercise 3. Control group. Exercise groups will be cycling under observation in the hospital setting. Control group will make simple stretching exercises at home. Participants will be requested to complete a 3 months of exercise. They will be evaluated before and at the end of the 3 months of exercise with basic gait parameters such as cadence, gait speed, stride length, percentages of swing phase and stance phase evaluated by a wireless digital miniature gait analysis system.
