Sedentary Behavior Modification, Cardiopulmonary Function & QOL Post Cardiac Surgery Patients.

Effects of Sedentary Behaviour Modification on Cardiopulmonary Function and Quality of Life in Post-Cardiac Surgery Patients

Sponsor

Riphah International University

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Apr 15, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Post-Cardiac Surgery Patients

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.

Interventions

OTHERSedentary Behaviour Modification Protocol

structured intervention designed to reduce the total time spent sitting or lying down (excluding sleeping) and to break up long, uninterrupted periods of inactivity. Effective protocols, often guided by the COM-B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour), aim to replace sedentary time with light-intensity physical activity (e.g., walking, standing).

OTHERStandard Cardiac Rehabilitation

A 3-12 week outpatient, medically supervised program starting shortly after surgery, focusing on monitored exercise (Treadmill), risk factor modification, and education to safely improve heart function. It involves 1-hour sessions 2-3 times a week, combining aerobic training, light strength training, and lifestyle counseling
