It is a randomized clinical trial conducted at the University OF Central Punjab Lahore. Convenience sampling technique will be used .Participants will be recruited through simple random sampling by sealed opaque envelope method into two Groups .Group A and Group B. Group A:Aqua jogging group: This group will perform aqua jogging for 60 minutes consisting of 10 minutes warming up, 40 minutes aqua jogging or land jogging and 10 minutes cooling down. Group B: Land based jogging group: This group will perform land jogging for 60 minutes consisting of 10 minutes warming up, 40 minutes aqua jogging or land jogging and 10 minutes cooling down. Assessment tools for this study will be cooper's 1.5 miles run test for cardiorespiratory endurance and health related quality of life questionnaire for Quality of life.
