The participants were randomly assigned into two groups, Group A= interventional group, Group B = control group through toss and coin method using non-probability convenient sampling technique and written consent was obtained from each patient participated in the study. From 30 patients 15 patients were randomly allocated to each group, Group A: Interventional (n= 15), Group B: Control (n=15). 1 patient in control group B was dropout because he didn't come for follow up. Overall 29 patients were evaluated for study as in Group A, interventional (n=15) and Group B control (n=14).Patients in group A were performed breathing control at the start of session and then Purse lips breathing technique during aerobic bicycling for 8 min while in group B patients first perform breathing control and then aerobic bicycling for 8 min. Subjects in both experimental and control group underwent spirometry and baseline vitals, such as Respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, at rest and at the completion of session was noted. Borg scale of dyspnea also used to rate the level of dyspnea at rest and at the end of session. Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) was used at 1st and final week of evaluation. It was 6 weeks training protocol, with three days per week session was given to the patient.
