Why the study?
Does unsupervised home-based exercise maintain functional capacity in patients discharged from cardiac rehabilitation?
Does unsupervised home-based exercise maintain functional capacity in patients discharged from cardiac rehabilitation?
Unsupervised home-based exercise after cardiac rehabilitation discharge appears effective in maintaining exercise capacity gains.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Does not support changing practice to unsupervised post-CR exercise; leaves open efficacy amid low-certainty evidence against benefit.
Self-regulated exercising following CR discharge seems to be effective to maintain gains in exercise capacity acquired during supervised center-based programs.
