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.
Some recent studies suggest that the rising interest for the potential of high- intensity interval training (HIIT) to enhance the metabolic health in overweight adults. HIIT has also been found to induce comparatively fast enhancements in overall-body aerobic capacity and muscle mitochondrial markers in individuals with overweight. The main advantage of HIIT is that low-volume HIIT protocols can involve a shorter time as compared with MICT, and time limitations have been recognized as a generally reported hurdle to daily exercise involvement. Latest studies propose that's when compared to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT), HIIT has been shown to produce similar and sometimes better improvements in results such as cardiorespiratory fitness in spite of often demanding a smaller amount of time commitment and lesser energy expenditure. On the other hand, low volume HIIT is still undecided whether this form of physical training is superior, equivalent or inferior to more outdated forms of exercise training such as MICT for the management cardio metabolic health.

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.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: 2 Weeks, 4 Weeks
