"Participants will place one hand on the chest and other on the abdomen, feeling the swelling of the stomach and the movement of the chest.

"Participants will place one hand on the chest and another on the sand bag placed over abdomen. This sand bag weighing 3-5 Kgs will provide resistance to breathing. These exercises will be performed in supine position. We will adjust the weight of the sandbag as per individual's level of 11-13 of 'Rating of Perceived Exercise (RPE)'.~Supervised breathing exercises in two sets for 15 minutes with 5 minutes break between sets and 10 minutes rest after it will be performed"
