A group-mediated cognitive behavioral physical activity intervention may offer greater improvements in perceived mental health measures for women with low baseline values compared to traditional cardiac rehabilitation.
Focht et al. (2004) conducted an RCT in cardiovascular disease requiring cardiac rehabilitation (n=147). Group-mediated cognitive behavioral physical activity intervention program (GMCB) vs. Traditional cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP) was evaluated on Changes in health-related quality of life (HRQL) at 3 and 12 months using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). A group-mediated cognitive behavioral physical activity intervention improved perceived mental health more favorably than traditional cardiac rehabilitation in women with low baseline values.
