Peri‐operative exercise regimes are important to minimize complications in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Apart from inspiratory muscle training, aerobics, resistance training, and stretching have all been reported with the potential to promote recovery after cardiac surgery. In the postoperative period, breathing exercises, aerobic and resistance exercises walking, and yoga have all been practiced. However, there is no clarity on the ideal physiotherapy regime in patients undergoing CABG or the intensity of exercise these patients can be subjected to. Future studies need to focus on these unanswered questions.
