Abstract

This systematic review aimed to investigate the effectiveness of home-based exercise training on cardiovascular patients. For this purpose, Sid.ir and Magiran.com databases as well as the system of scientific and research publications approved by the Ministry of Science in the field of sport sciences were searched for domestic articles from 1380 to 1401. The keywords used for searching were "home-based exercise training (HBET)" combined with "cardiac patients" "cardiovascular diseases" or "aerobic training" or "resistance training". For English language articles between 2000 and 2022, PubMed, Megapaper, and Google Scholar databases were used. The searched keywords were "home-based exercise training" in combination with "cardiac patients" or "cardiovascular diseases" or "aerobic exercise training" or "resistance exercise training". The results indicate that the implementation of HBET, as an alternative or supplement to hospital-based supervised exercise training, or as part of home-based rehabilitation programs, is cost-effective, accessible, and safe. It also helps to overcome exercise obstacles and increases adherence to exercise training, therefore, by observing the principle of repetition, intensity, time, and type of exercise, probably cardiovascular patients can benefit from this training method.
