Brief Summary

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

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a global health challenge influenced by diabetes, hypertension, and psychosocial stress, with women having a higher prevalence of Coronary microvascular disease. Promoting coronary collateral circulation offers an alternative coronary artery disease CAD treatment. Invasive interventions like PCI and CABG aim to enhance coronary flow, restoring blood flow to ischemic myocardium. Post-CABG challenges include depression, anxiety, and factors affecting quality of life. Physiotherapy impacts heart rate variability, with virtual reality physiotherapy reducing both heart rate variability and hospital stay. Cardiac rehabilitation involves lifestyle changes, enhancing functional capacity, and supporting early recovery. Pre-operative respiratory muscle training improves outcomes. Acute high-intensity interval exercise and mild continuous exercise benefit exercise recovery. This research compares conditioning exercises and resistance interval training effects on post-CABG patients' well-being.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The randomized clinical trial will be conducted in physical therapy department at the District Headquarters (DHQ) in Gujranwala, employing a non-probability convenience sampling technique. The study aims to include individuals aged 40-55 years. Participants in phase IV cardiac rehabilitation. Both female and male will be included.Exclusion criteria involve individuals with another clinical trial involving physical protocols. Regular practice of physical exercise of more than 150min per week in last 3 months. Decompensated heart failure. Further exclusions encompass individuals who have had an acute myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery within the last 6 months, severe valvular heart diseases, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias, asymmetric septal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with dynamic obstruction in the outflow pathway, musculoskeletal disorders limiting completion of the exercise program, and impaired cognitive status affecting understanding and adherence to the study protocol. Group A will be given a Conditioning exercise protocol while the other Group B will be given resistance interval training. The difference in improvement before and after 6 weeks will be documented and compared.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conditioning Exercise Group

Aerobic interval training (AIT), which included rest intervals in between sessions of aerobic activity on a stationary bike and treadmill, was administered to the control group. A 10-minute warm-up, or a maximum of 50% to 60% of HR, preceded the program. Participants will complete a well-tested Performa. Basic parameters will be collected through the outcome measure tool. The difference in improvement before and after 6 weeks will be documented and compared.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Conditioning Exercises/ Aerobic Interval Training

Intervention Type OTHER

Aerobic interval training (AIT), which included rest intervals in between sessions of aerobic activity on a stationary bike and treadmill, was administered to the control group. A 10-minute warm-up, or a maximum of 50% to 60% of HR, preceded the program. The next activity round consisted of six x six-minute intervals of cycling and walking/uphill running on a treadmill at 60% to 85% of THR, separated by three minutes of rest/recovery. A ten-to fifteen-minute cool- down period followed the session.

Resistance Interval Training Group

Resistance interval training for post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients requires careful consideration and should be conducted under the supervision of healthcare professionals, such as cardiac rehabilitation specialists or physiotherapists. Exercise programs for individuals recovering from cardiac surgery must be tailored to their specific needs, taking into account their overall health, medical history, and current fitness level. Before beginning any exercise program, it's essential to obtain clearance from a healthcare provider. The workout lasted thirty to forty minutes in total. To fit the training load, resistance and intensity were gradually raised. For six weeks, this supervised training program was adhered to three times a week on alternate days. The difference in improvement before and after 6 weeks will be documented and compared.
