A Study to Objectively Measure Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior During Cardiac Rehabilitation

Mayo Clinic

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess exercise patterns during home-based or center-based cardiac rehabilitation participation.

Participants enrolled in either home-based or center-based cardiac rehabilitation will be instructed to wear an accelerometer device for 7-days at baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks, to objectively measure their physical activity level during the cardiac rehabilitation program. A questionnaire will also be completed by the participant at baseline and 12-weeks to subjectively measure their physical activity level, based on self-report activities over the previous 7-days. Enrollment in home-based versus center-based cardiac rehabilitation will be based on the availability of cardiac rehabilitation facilities and/or patient preference. There is no random allocation or assignment to groups by the study team.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in minutes spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity, measured by accelerometry

Change in minutes at a moderate-vigorous activity intensity are objectively measured by an accelerometer device that senses movement. The device captures the number of minutes a participant spends in moderate-vigorous activities per day, and will be worn by the participant for 7-days. A higher number of minutes per day indicates a greater physical activity level.

Time frame: Baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Change in minutes spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity, measured by questionnaire

Change in minutes at a moderate-vigorous activity intensity are subjectively measured (self-reported) using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The IPAQ captures the number of minutes a participant spends in moderate-vigorous activities per day, based on participant's reporting of the previous 7-days. A higher number of minutes per day indicates a greater physical activity level.

Time frame: Baseline, 12-weeks

Change in minutes spent in inactive (sedentary) behavior, measured by accelerometry.

Change in minutes spent in inactive (sedentary) behavior, measured by an accelerometer device that senses movement. The device captures the number of minutes a participant spends inactive per day, and will be worn by the participant for 7-days. A higher number of minutes per day of inactive time indicates increased sedentary behavior.

Time frame: Baseline, 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks
