This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research compares three different exercise approaches for people in cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack or heart failure. The three approaches are: core strengthening exercises alone, aerobic exercise (like treadmill or cycling) alone, or a combination of both. The study wants to understand whether adding core strengthening to standard heart recovery exercise improves fitness, strength, balance, and quality of life.
Cardiac rehabilitation programs have helped many heart patients recover, but doctors aren't sure whether adding core muscle training — exercises that strengthen your deep abdominal and back muscles — makes the recovery better. This study will help doctors know which combination of exercises to recommend.

You would come to the hospital twice a week for eight weeks to do supervised exercise. Each session lasts about 60 minutes and is continuously monitored by medical staff for your safety. Depending on which group you're randomly assigned to, you'll either do core strengthening exercises, aerobic exercise on a treadmill or bike, or a mix of both. Before, during, and after the program, you'll complete fitness tests and answer questions about your symptoms and quality of life.
