  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Behavioral: entailing an early home-based CR program
enter the early outpatient phase of CR program. The progressive exercise training of this phase was performed without supervision after their discharge. The CR program consisted of a five-minute warm-up period (stretching), a twenty-minute aerobic exercise (walking or trotting, gymnastics), and a five-minute cooling-down period (stretching)
Other: the control group
enter the usual care program, including the importance of carrying out physical activity, which was performed during inpatient care.
