This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a home-based prehabilitation program designed to help patients prepare their bodies and minds before elective coronary artery bypass surgery. The program combines supervised exercise on a tablet, weekly phone calls with a nurse for nutritional and psychological support, and coping strategies for stress and anxiety. The goal is to see whether this preparation period—the weeks before surgery—can help patients recover better and faster after their operation.
Many patients awaiting heart bypass surgery are older, less physically active, or dealing with poor nutrition and emotional stress, all of which can complicate recovery. This trial exists to test whether preparing the body and mind before surgery—rather than waiting until after—can reduce complications, speed up recovery, and help patients feel more confident and resilient when they face the operation.

If you are randomly chosen for the active program, you will participate in home-based exercises on a tablet three times per week for 60 minutes each session, supervised by a physiotherapist. You'll also receive a weekly phone call from a specialized nurse to discuss nutrition, stress management, and ways to cope with anxiety. The program continues for your entire waiting period before surgery. The control group receives standard care without the additional exercises and support calls.
