Summary

This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) to exercise training helps people who had heart bypass surgery feel less short of breath and improve their heart and lung fitness. About 66 adults aged 30-60 with low heart function will be split into three groups: one does circuit training while watching nature scenes through VR, another does the same training without VR, and a third does the training at home via video. Researchers will measure breathing difficulty, exercise capacity, heart function, quality of life, and sleep over the study period.
