Conditions

Post–coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Presence of aortocoronary bypass graft

Interventions

aerobic exercise (20-30 minutes) such as treadmill, stationary bike, or rowing machine at moderate intensity (50-70% of maximum heart rate)

resistance training (15-20 minutes) such as light weights focusing on major muscle groups (2-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions, 2 times a week)

Intervention 1: Center-based cardiac rehabilitation group: All steps in this method will be performed under the supervision of a cardiologist, nutritionist, physical medicine and rehabilitation specia

cool-down (5-10 minutes) including a gradual decrease in intensity followed by stretching (e.g., neck and shoulder stretches, calf muscle stretches, balance on one leg). 2- Patient education Topics co
