Summary

In this quasi-experimental study, which involved having patients who had experienced a MI engage in 50 minute green walks three times a week for 12 weeks, the following hypotheses were tested: High-intensity interval green walking has the effect of reducing the anthropometric measurements of patients undergoing MI. High-intensity interval green walking has the effect of reducing LDL, triglyceride, total cholesterol levels and increasing HDL levels of patients who have with MI. High-intensity interval green walking has a positive effect on the perception of disease of patients who have undergone MI. High-intensity interval green walking has an effect on improving the quality of life of patients with MI.

Research Question 1: What is the impact of green walking on the body mass index (BMI) of patients with MI? Research Question 2: How does green walking influence blood lipid levels (triglycerides, LDL, total cholesterol, and HDL) in patients with MI? Research Question 3: What is the effect of green walking on the perception of the disease in patients with MI? Research Question 4: How does green walking affect the quality of life of patients with MI? 2 Groups: Green walking group and control group

Green walking

The researcher provided detailed information to the patients about green walking. For the randomized MI patients, two groups were formed, and they engaged in a 50-minute green walking three days a week for 12 weeks, under the guidance of the researcher. The green walk group's walks were scheduled differently for the two subgroups. The first subgroup had their 50-minute walk on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, while the second subgroup had their walks on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. This arrangement ensured a standardized time interval between green walks for both groups.
