Why the study?
Patients with cardiovascular disease benefit from cardiac rehabilitation, but pragmatic, evidence-based guidance was needed that incorporates recent guidelines, evidence, and virtual or technology-based delivery methods.
This CSANZ position statement provides updated, evidence-based guidance for clinicians on the assessment and prescription of exercise and physical activity in cardiac rehabilitation.
Supports standardized patient-centred exercise prescription in cardiac rehabilitation; extends prior guidance with current evidence.
Patients with cardiovascular disease benefit from cardiac rehabilitation, which includes structured exercise and physical activity as core components. This position statement provides pragmatic, evidence-based guidance for the assessment and prescription of exercise and physical activity for cardiac rehabilitation clinicians, recognising the latest international guidelines, scientific evidence and the increasing use of technology and virtual delivery methods. The patient-centred assessment and prescription of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise and physical activity have been addressed, including progression and safety considerations.

Verdicchio et al. (2023) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Exercise and physical activity prescription was evaluated. This CSANZ position statement provides evidence-based guidance for the patient-centred assessment and prescription of aerobic and resistance exercise in cardiac rehabilitation.
