Time frame: Six Weeks
IPAQ- quality of life
The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to evaluate the current physical activity level of the participants.
Time frame: Six Weeks
VSAQ-exercise capacity
The VSAQ, capturing patient-reported outcome measures, is an efficient and quantifiable measure of exercise capacity that can be readily employed in clinical services particularly where patients have normal to high exercise tolerance
