Background and Aims: Cardiac Rehabilitation after Coronary arteries bypass graft (CABG) surgery is known to have several favorable effects. Aerobics exercise in the form of chair aerobics shown to have beneficial effects with little evidence. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the effect of chair aerobics as low intensity exercise training in heart rate, blood pressure and six minute walk distance in post CABG patients during phase I cardiac rehabilitation.   Methods: It was a single centre, prospective study carried out in Indian tertiary care set-up. Fifty patients post CABG patients were included. Chair aerobics as a low intensity exercise training was given.  Pre and post-exercise outcome measurements in the form of heart rate, blood pressure and six-minute walk distance test were recorded. Results: The study showed statistically significant difference in systolic blood pressure (p= 0.018), heart rate (p≤0.001) and increase in six minute walk distance (p≤0.001). Conclusion: Chair aerobics as low intensity exercise training demonstrated improvement in heart  rate, systolic blood pressure and six minute walk distance test in subjects with CABG through phase I  cardiac rehabilitation.  Nepalese Heart Journal 2016; 13(1) 19-23

AbstractThe aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of a 12 weeks low-intensity exercise training on body composition, adipokines, and growth factors in normal (NG) and obese (OG) children. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max); body composition; adipokines consisting of adiponectin, retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4), and interleukin-6 (IL-6); and growth factors including insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGF-BP3) were measured before and after low-intensity exercise training program. Body composition parameters such as body weight, body mass index, body fat (%) and VO2 max were significantly different between NG and OG. Adiponectin levels in NG were increased after 12 weeks exercise training. In addition, our results showed that the concentrations of adiponectin, RBP4, IGF-1, and IGF-BP3 in OG were higher than those of NG. Adiponectin levels were significantly correlated with body fat (r = −0.545, p = 0.001) and VO2max (r = 0.368, p = 0.032) and RBP4 levels were significantly correlated with body fat (r = 0.371, p = 0.031) in all subjects. Exercise training improved adiponectin levels in NG subjects and maintained the levels of body fat, adipokines (adiponectin, RBP4), and growth factors (IGF-1, IGF-BP3) in OG subjects. The present study revealed that regular low-intensity exercise training is strongly associated with high adiponectin levels in healthy children. However, obese children did not exhibit any changes in the levels of adipokines and maintained body composition and growth factors.
