The intervention consisted of a 12\u2010week training and exercise program included walking sessions at home at least three times a week. The 6\u2010min walk test (6MWT) was conducted to measure the functional capacity and waist to hip ratio (WHR), as the anthropometric index, in both groups before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed in SPSS 21 using independent <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> test, paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> test, and Chi\u2010square test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean distance traveled in the 6MWT was 297.30\u2009m and 283.55 in intervention and control groups respectively before the intervention.

The mean WHR was 0.8648 and 0.8403 in intervention and in control respectively before the intervention.

So, healthcare providers can deploy such rehabilitation programs to empower patients, alleviate disease complications, and reduce individual and social costs of cardiovascular diseases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jjns.12386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]],"date-time":"2020-10-27T07:48:02Z","timestamp":1603784882000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The effect of cardiac rehabilitation program on functional capacity and waist to hip ratio in patients with coronary artery disease: A clinical trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Azam","family":"Sahabazi Deh Sokhteh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing and Midwifery School, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences  Zahedan Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Mofrad","given":"Zahra","family":"Pishkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty member of Nursing and Midwifery School, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences  Zahedan Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Omid","family":"Rafizadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zahedan University of Medical Sciences  Zahedan Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2813-6367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fariba","family":"Yaghoubinia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Community Nursing Research Center, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences  Zahedan Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","first-page":"75","article-title":"The barriers to myocardial infarction Patients' participation in cardiac rehabilitation program","volume":"9","author":"Afrasiabi\u2010Far A.","year":"2008","journal-title":"Archives of Rehabilitation"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"e11086","article-title":"In\u2010hospital case fatality rate and cox proportional\u2010hazards model for risk factors of mortality due to myocardial infarction in Iran's hospitals: A national study","volume":"9","author":"Ahmadi A.","year":"2015","journal-title":"International Cardiovascular Research Journal"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00008483-200003000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/bjpt-rbf.2014.0192"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcnurse.2006.07.004"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","first-page":"17","article-title":"Effectiveness of the short\u2010term cardiac rehabilitation programs on the rate of disease relapse, again refer and Rehospitalization in patients with myocardial infarction","volume":"9","author":"Davoudvand S.
