“…Despite initial resistance to the integration of exercise into coronary intervention, compelling evidence about the benefits of early postoperative exercise and the detriment of physical inactivity stimulated a paradigm shift in cardiac care 50 . An exercise-oriented approach to cardiac rehabilitation was implemented in the 1960s and has since become essential to post-treatment care [50][51][52][53] . Accordingly, cardiac rehabilitation specialists are now important allied health professionals in this field.…”

Exercise in Clinical Cancer Care: A Call to Action and Program Development Description

A large and convincing body of evidence demonstrates the benefits of exercise for cancer survivors during and after treatment. Based on that literature, more cancer survivors should be offered exercise support and programming. Unfortunately, exercise programs remain an exception rather than the norm in cancer care. Not surprisingly, common barriers to the implementation of exercise programs in oncology include limited resources, expertise, and awareness of benefits on the part of patients and clinicians. To improve the accessibility and cost-effectiveness of cancer exercise programs, one proposed strategy is to combine the resources of hospital and community-based programs with home-based exercise instruction. The present paper highlights current literature regarding exercise programming for cancer survivors, describes the development of an exercise program for cancer patients in Toronto, Canada, and offers experiential insights into the integration of exercise into oncologic care.

“…The world health organization also introduced alleviating cardiac symptoms and improving QOL as the goals of CR (14). Participation in CR programs reduces patients' sense of insufficiency, improves their QOL, alleviates the symptoms of activity intolerance, slows the progression of CAD, decreases the likelihood of subsequent heart attacks, minimizes the serious complications of CAD, and prolongs patients' survival (15). Mohammadi et al (2006) found that the rate of cardiovascular accidents among patients, who had participated, and patients, who had refused to participate in a comprehensive CR program ten years after a CABG was 18% and 35%, respectively (16).…”

The Effects of Phase III Cardiac Rehabilitation on the Quality of Life of Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

et al. 2015

Background: Shortage of rehabilitation services as well as personal and financial problems prevents patients from participating in cardiac rehabilitation programs. Participation in these programs alleviates patients' perceived inadequacy, improves their quality of life, and prolongs their survival. Thus, there is a clear need to educate cardiac patients and guide them toward patient-centered and home-based rehabilitation programs. Objectives: The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of phase III cardiac rehabilitation on the quality of life of patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft Methods: This quasi-experimental study was done on forty 35 to 75 year-old patients, who were in phase III cardiac rehabilitation after bypass surgery. Patients were selected purposively and were allocated to a control and an experimental group randomly, 20 patients in each group. The groups did not differ significantly regarding patients' age, body mass index, and the duration of cardiac problems. A demographic questionnaire and the short form 36 quality of life questionnaire were used for gathering data both before and one month after the study intervention. A cardiac rehabilitation educational program was implemented for the patients in the experimental group with six 1.5-hour sessions in three subsequent weeks. Patients in the control group also received the same education in four sessions, which were held after the posttest. The data were entered in the SPSS (v. 15.0) software and were analyzed by running repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA), the paired-and the independent-sample t, the one-way ANOVA, and the Tukey's post-hoc statistical tests. The level of significance was set at 0.05.

“…The prescription of physical exercises has been defined as "the recommendation of a regime of systematic and individualized physical activity to achieve optimal patient physiological benefits of exercise training [5][6][7][8][9]. This method will try to increase their physical capacity, improve their health and reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease and ensure their safety during participation in the exercises [10].…”
