Brief Summary
This study aims to investigate randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether reducing sedentary behavior improves recovery in post-cardiac surgery patients. Participants are assigned to either a behavioral intervention that substitutes sitting with light activity or to usual care. Changes in exercise capacity and quality of life are the primary measured outcomes. It is hypothesized that the intervention group will demonstrate superior gains in both physical function and well-being. The results could inform a valuable adjunct to existing cardiac rehabilitation programs.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patient Aged 50-80 years (represents the majority cases) * Natural decline in physical capacity, making them an ideal population for studying these outcomes) * Underwent elective or emergency cardiac surgery (once patient is in ward)/1 Exclusion Criteria: * Those requiring invasive mechanical ventilation * Individuals with significant cognitive impairment affecting consent or compliance * Pregnant women or Lactating Mother
