Elliptical vs. resistance training for heart bypass recovery
Part of Heart & circulation 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.
