Inclusion Criteria: * Patients after acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary bypass surgery; * Age 65 years and older; * 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD) ≥150 meters; * Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 40%; * Patient's agreement to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * combined coronary artery bypass grafting and valve surgery; * Cardiac devices; * Diseases in the musculoskeletal system or other organs complicating physical activity and exercise training; * Exercise-limiting comorbidities (primarily orthopedic and neurological conditions that would exclude individuals from participating in cardiac rehabilitation according to study protocol), cognitive or linguistic deficits.
