Researchers will split the sixty healthy smokers in half. Thirty people will serve as a control group and will be asked to walk or jog at a controlled pace for twelve minutes as part of an aerobic exercise program. Separately, 30 people participated in an aerobic exercise session that lasted 12 minutes and involved walking or running at a pace that the participants themselves controlled. WHBM will be done both prior to and subsequent to physical activity. To determine how WHBM affects the experimental group's pre- and post-WHBM heart rates, SpO2, blood pressure, and VO2 max, this study will be conducted.
The study will be a randomized single blinded control trial, sixty healthy smokers will be divided into two groups. a control group of 30 participants will performing a 12-minute aerobic exercise where it included walking/ jogging with a controlled speed by the participant. Another experimental group of 30 participants also, performing a 12-minute aerobic exercise where it included walking/ jogging with a controlled speed by the participant. WHBM will be performed before and after exercises. It will be done to assess the effect of WHBM on heart rate, SpO2, blood pressure and VO2 max that will be monitored before and after WHBM in the experimental group. In addition, Performance will be assessed by observing the difference in distance covered before and after doing the WHBM. Heart rate and SpO2 will be measured using a finger pulse oximeter (Medical Rossmax). Blood pressure will be measured using a sphygmomanometer and VO2 max will be measured using the cooper's test formula in kilometers: "VO2 max = (22.351 x distance in Km) - 11.288"

| CONTROL | Active Comparator | Researchers took the first measurement at t=0 minutes after 5 minutes of their arrival to allow them to rest. The measurements included heart rate and SpO2 using an oximeter (Medical Rossmax) and blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer. Then they were asked to perform a 12-minute walk/jog with speed controlled by them and incline = 1. At 4 and 8 minutes, the speed was reduced to 2.0 on the treadmill, and vitals were taken again. At t= 12 minutes we stopped the treadmill, recorded the distance covered, and proceeded to measure the heart rate. SpO2, blood pressure, and VO2max were calculated using the Cooper's test formula (Alvero-Cruz et al., 2017). Participants were asked to rest for 4 minutes, and then another measurement of the vital signs (heart rate, SpO2, and blood pressure) was taken before they were dismissed. |
