Summary

This study tested whether a structured early exercise program helps people recover better after coronary artery bypass surgery. Forty adults who had their first bypass surgery were split into two groups: one received standard hospital care plus supervised exercise starting within 24 hours, and the other received standard care only. The exercise group did 30-minute sessions twice a day for 5 days, including walking, cycling, and light strength training. Researchers measured fitness, muscle strength, quality of life, and mood to see if early exercise leads to a faster and better recovery.
