About this trial
1. To assess the effect of high-intensity interval training on peak metabolic equivalents in patients with coronary heart disease after the coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. 2. To assess the effect of a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program on peak metabolic equivalents in patients with coronary heart disease after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. 3. To compare functional outcomes between the different treatment approaches.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Participants will be eligible if they are clinically stable as defined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association.
Only Participants will be stratified as low to moderate risk as identified by the American College of Sport Medicine/

All patients underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery, rested at home for at least one month, and then returned to the center for a cardiac rehabilitation program
Disqualifiers
