Abstract
Inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) aims to address skeletal muscle dysfunction following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Muscle lengthening (eccentric) contractions have a lower metabolic demand than concentric contractions and are advantageous for patients with reduced physiological reserve. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of incremental eccentric cycling during inpatient CR following CABG, utilising a custom-built eccentric cycle ergometer.
