Materials & Methods: In this quasi experimental and interventional study 20 patients who arrived to phase II cardiac rehabilitation after their first cardiovascular accident were selected conveniently and participated in this prospective study. Anthropometrics' measurements, FBS and blood lipid, 6–MWT were performed at the beginning and at the end of 8 weeks program (3 days per week for 24 sessions). Data were analyzed by Paired T test. Results: Except for low–density lipoprotein (LDL) (P=0.087) and FBS (P=0.072), all other biochemical indices [total cholesterol (TC) (P=0.019), high–density lipoprotein (HDL) (P=0.019), and triglyceride (TG) (P=0.009)], functional capacity (6MWT) (P %> http://rehabilitationj.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-416-en.pdf %P 0-0 %& 0 %! %9 Applicable %L A-10-44-33 %+ University of Welfare & Rehabilitation Siences, Tehran, Iran. %G eng %@ 2538-6247 %[ 2010
