Cardiac Rehabilitation is one of the most important activities who performed by patients with coronary artery disease in cardiac rehabilitation centers. The aim of this investigation is investigate and compare between aerobic training and resistance training on CABG`s patients. 32 patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have participated in this study in two groups (aerobic and resistance groups). Resistance training group performed: bench press, arm curls, lateral raise, leg curl, leg extensions and triceps kickback, three times a week for two months. Results showed that the arm and leg strength increased after resistance training. After intervention left ventricular area and ejection fraction for both groups have changed. Result also showed that there was a significant increase in peak VO2 from baseline averaged 16% (P < 0.05) for aerobic group and 9% (P<0.05) for resistance group, this changes was statistical significance. Findings of current study clearly show the advantage of resistance training for patients during cardiac rehabilitation.
