Abstract : Post-delivery increased weight can cause intergenerational harm, negatively affecting a mother’s cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary health. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing defines maximum aerobic capacity through measurement of VO2max.VO2max values have important role in informing patients’ selection for advance obesity intervention. Aim - to know difference between aerobic capacity in overweight and non-overweight women. Method- 40 patient of age 18-30y; 20 overweight women with BMI >25 and women with BMI <25. The patients were asked to stepping bench for total duration 3 min. Result- This showed extremely significant improvement in VO2Max and BORG Scale. Conclusion – This study suggest that overweight postpartum women had significantly reduced aerobic capacity when compared with non-overweight postpartum women.

Keywords : Body Mass Index, Aerobic Capacity, Exertional Dyspnea, VO2Max, Postpartum Women.
