This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether adding resistance training (strength exercises) to a standard cardiac rehabilitation program can safely improve fitness and muscle strength in women with coronary artery disease. For many years, doctors were cautious about strength training in heart disease patients, but recent evidence shows it can be safe and beneficial when done properly under medical supervision. This trial will compare two different approaches to resistance training combined with aerobic interval training to see which works best.
Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of death among women worldwide. While aerobic exercise programs for heart disease are well-established, doctors are still figuring out the best way to safely add strength training to help patients recover better and improve their overall quality of life.

You would attend three supervised exercise sessions per week for 12 weeks (36 visits total) at a medical facility with trained rehabilitation staff. Each session would include aerobic interval training on a stationary bike, alternating between harder and easier intensities, plus strength exercises for your upper and lower body using weights. All sessions are supervised by physiotherapists, nurses, and other specialists to ensure your safety. You'll also have baseline tests at the start to measure your fitness and muscle strength, and follow-up tests at the end to see how you've improved.
