Objective Measure of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior During Cardiac Rehabilitation

Overview

About this study

The main purpose of this study is to measure overall activity (inactive to high intensity) during a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation program.  Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, cardiac rehabilitation has become home-based. Therefore, a secondary purpose of this study is to determine whether there are differences in physical activity levels between home-based and center-based cardiac rehabilitation.
