The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of physical activity on quality of life of patients after coronary artery surgery. In a randomized clinical trial the quality of life of 70 patients under CABG was compared together(35 intervention,35 control). Patients at the discharge randomly divided to two groups. Inclusive criteria included a native؛ first time CABG؛ hemodynamic signals in the normal range؛ no impairment of sensory, motor, and auditory. Exclusion criteria for this study was redo CABG؛ re hospitalization during the study؛ chest pain؛ changes electrocardiography؛ the patient's intolerance؛ severe hemodynamic changes that jeopardize the patient's life؛ and death of the patient. The intervention on the case patients was physical activity that performed in 24-32 session three time in week and compiled of 20 minutes warming,20-40minutes aerobic exercise, 5 minutes cooling and 20 minutes relaxation. Control group have not any intervention.The mean scores of quality of life in two groups was compared two time(1 month and four month after intervention) with SF36 scoring.
