Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) consists of supervised exercise training in conjunction with other secondary prevention interventions. However, CR is not widely used because of distance, financial resources, work and other time constraints, gender, age, social support, illness perceptions, and psychiatric problems. Baduanjin is a type of movement-based mind-body intervention. It is a form of traditional practice designed to promote physical and psychological health, manage symptoms, and relieve stress during illness. Patients with heart disease have frequently used it. The impacts of a Baduanjin exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program for patients recovering from CAD under coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or valve replacement on Meridian Energy Analysis Device (MEAD100, Med- Pex Enterprises, Taichung, Taiwan) and heart rate variability (HRV) has yet to be assessed. This trial evaluates whether the Baduanjin exercise would provide effective meridian energy and HRV in patients following CABG.

Arm A: usual care

Arm B: walk

walk 30mins per day, 5 days per week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Arm C: Baduanjin

Baduanjin 12 mins per day, 5 days per week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Baduanjin

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Baduanjin exercise is moderate in intensity and short in duration (a set of Baduanjin takes about 12 minutes). Baduanjin consists of the sitting and standing practicing form. The sitting Baduanjin exercise conforms to the aspects of low-intensity and long-term aerobic activity, which is suitable for the rehabilitation training of patients who are in stable condition during hospitalization. The standing Baduanjin is more suitable for patients with sequential rehabilitation after discharge and can be adjusted based on the patient's condition

Arm D: Baduanjin plus walk

walk 30mins then Baduanjin 12 mins per day, 5 days per week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Walk plus Baduanjin

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Walk 30mins then Baduanjin 12mins per day, 5 times per week.
