This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a serious heart attack (called STEMI), exercise is known to help the heart heal and function better. This trial is testing whether the time of day you exercise matters — specifically, whether doing aerobic exercise in the morning (8–9 AM) or evening (4–5 PM) makes a bigger difference in how well your heart recovers. You'll be randomly placed into one of three groups: morning exercise, evening exercise, or standard care without a structured exercise program.
We know that your body's internal clock affects how your heart works throughout the day. While doctors recommend exercise after a heart attack, nobody has yet studied whether exercising at different times of day helps your heart heal differently. This trial aims to find the best time to exercise for the strongest heart recovery.

If you qualify, you'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups. If assigned to exercise, you'll attend a 12-week outpatient program three times per week for one hour, doing warm-up, aerobic exercise, and relaxation exercises — either 8–9 AM or 4–5 PM depending on your group. If assigned to the control group, you'll receive standard medical care and lifestyle advice without a structured exercise program. All participants will have regular follow-up appointments to monitor how well your heart is recovering.
