Depending on the functional level and risk of falls that each participant has, up to six different types of physical exercise programs, A = Severe limitation (SPPB 0–3); B = Moderate limitation (SPPB 4–6); B + = Moderate limitation and fall risk; C = Mild limitation (SPPB 7–9); C + = Mild limitation and fall risk; D = Minimal limitation (SPPB 10–12)
MVR or AVR Mitral or aortic valve replacement, CABG Coronary artery bypass grafting
