Structured PICO

Are home-based physical activity programs as feasible as supervised, clinic-based programs for adherence in patients with chronic conditions?

Population

People with chronic conditions (cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes)

Intervention

Aerobic physical activity interventions (including home-based programs)

Comparator

Supervised, clinic-based physical activity programs

Outcome

Adherence to physical activity interventions

Home-based aerobic physical activity programs appear as feasible as supervised clinic-based programs for sustaining adherence in patients with chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

The current evidence suggests that people with chronic conditions are capable of sustaining aerobic physical activity for 3+ months, as a form of treatment. Moreover, home-based programs may be just as feasible as supervised, clinic-based physical activity programs.
