Effects of a Multidimensional Exercise Program on Cardiac Surgery Patients

This randomized controlled trial study aims to examine the effects of a multidimensional exercise program in cardiac surgery patients. The following hypotheses were tested: patients who received the exercise program will report significant improvement in frailty after the 12-week multidimensional exercise program. Subjects are randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Patients in the intervention group will receive a 12-week multidimensional exercise program. Data are collected by using medical records and structural questionnaires, measuring handgrip strength, and a four-meter walk test at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks.
