The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical exercise on a cycle ergometer combine with CPAP in the postoperative period after myocardial revascularization
Physical exercise on a cycle ergometer combine with CPAP as an adjunct to the rehabilitation of hospitalized subjects who will undergo myocardial revascularization will be safe, decrease the length of stay in the ICU, and help maintain functional capacity

Subjects will randomly placed into intervention group and control group . In addition to the physiotherapeutic program standardized by the hospital's team of physical therapists, the intervention group will perform physical exercise on a cycle ergometer with CPAP.
Physical exercise on a cycle ergometer combine with CPAP will be performed in a single daily session from the second to the fourth postoperative days . The maximum exercise time for postoperative day 2 will be 20 min, and 30 min for the third and fourth postoperative days.

6 min walk distance
The six minute walking test (6MWT) was developed by the American Thoracic Society and it was officially introduced in 2002, coming along with a comprehensive guideline. The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity
Time frame: 4th day
1 min sit to stand test
Vaidya et al reported that 1-minute STS test is a simple and sensitive test and appears to be a practical, reliable, valid, and responsive alternative for measuring exercise capacity, particularly where space and time are limited
Time frame: 4th day
Digital Monovacumeter
The manovacuometer is a simple, quick and non-invasive test which measures the maximal respiratory pressures (MRS).Digital manovacuometer is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing maximum inspiratory pressure and maximum expiratory pressure in healthy subjects
