Elliptical vs. resistance training for heart bypass recovery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares elliptical training with resistance training to see which better improves heart and lung function in patients who have had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It aims to help you recover more fully during phase III cardiac rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 55 years old.
- You have had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and are now in phase III cardiac rehabilitation.
- Your lower limbs (legs) are physically active and able to exercise.

This study compares two types of exercise—elliptical machine workouts versus Swiss ball aerobics—to see which helps heart surgery patients recover better. If you had a recent bypass and are cleared to exercise, joining could help your recovery.
This study looks at how combining aerobic exercise with strength training can help people recover after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. If you had a successful bypass with no complications and are willing to join a heart rehab program, this trial may be a good fit for you.
This study tests whether adding arm cycling exercises to standard recovery helps people recover better after a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG, also known as heart bypass surgery). It is for patients who are stable enough to start moving soon after surgery.
This study tests if virtual reality exercises can improve your heart and lung fitness after coronary artery bypass surgery. If you still feel short of breath, this might help you recover better.
