High-Intensity interval training vs home-based rehab after coronary bypass grafting

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares two rehabilitation approaches for adults recovering from coronary artery bypass grafting. It evaluates changes in peak metabolic equivalents (METs) after completing a structured high-intensity interval training program or a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program. A control condition of no intervention is included for comparison. Eligible participants are adults around 55 years old, stable, and at low-to-moderate risk, who have completed at least one month of post-surgical recovery. The study aims to determine which approach yields greater improvement in functional fitness and how outcomes compare between the two active interventions.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Participants will be eligible if they are clinically stable as defined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association.
2. Only Participants will be stratified as low to moderate risk as identified by the American College of Sport Medicine/
