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.
