In intervention group, in the first or second session of rehabilitation (before intervention), personal information questionnaires, the Andler & Parker Stress Coping Strategies Questionnaire and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) were completed. At the beginning of the cardiac rehabilitation program, the health status and patient visit was performed by a specialist in exercise medicine and diet, then a common cardiac rehabilitation program was performed in 26 sessions (pairs, three times a week). During the physical activity phase, the patients slowly runse and exercise in the warm-up phase for 10 minutes, then 20-30 minutes of dynamic exercise using treadmill and fixed bicycle, and the exercise session with 10 minutes of cooling (slow walk in the gym) It ends. In the nutrition dimension, nutrition education, nutrition, oils, and its relation to cardiovascular disease, food pyramid and ways to use it, control and ways to reach the weight of the idea are provided by the nutritionist.

(In this exercise, the patient first recognizes the ptobuccosis muscle, To find this muscle, it is necessary to stop urine flow while urinating. This requires that the muscle contraction in the pelvic floor and Patient can sense the pelvic floor by touching the muscle and contract it, then perform the Kegel exercise as follows: Long cycle exercise 1) Shrinks the pubococcygeus muscle and maintains this contraction for 10 seconds. 2) Muscle Exit from shrinkage and relax for 10 seconds. 3) Repeat this cycle 15 times, and after that it relaxes 1 minute of muscle and performs short cycle exercises. Short Cycle Exercise 1: The muscle shrinks the pc for one second and relaxes for one second. 2) These one-minute cycles repeat the contraction and expansion 10 times. In doing the exercises, you normally breathe and avoid abdominal muscle contraction. Considering the proper relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, along with their proper shrinkage, attention is drawn to regular shrinkage cycles. Both types of exercise are performed daily, with an equivalent time of 10 minutes and three times a day).
