Key result
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduced the prevalence of high kinesiophobia in patients with coronary artery disease from 74.5% at baseline to 34.6% (p<0.001).
Why the study?
The study aimed to define kinesiophobia levels in cardiac patients, determine whether exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation changes kinesiophobia, and identify associated variables.
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduce kinesiophobia in patients with coronary artery disease?
Observational (n=98)
Does exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation reduce kinesiophobia in patients with coronary artery disease?
Absolute Event Rate: 34.6% vs 74.5%
p-value: p=<0.001
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduces kinesiophobia in patients with coronary artery disease, which is associated with improved physical activity and quality of life.
CR may lower kinesiophobia in CAD patients; leaves open need for RCTs on adherence and outcomes.

Şahin et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (CAD) (n=98). Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) vs. Baseline (before cardiac rehabilitation) was evaluated on High level of kinesiophobia (p=<0.001). Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation significantly reduced the prevalence of high kinesiophobia in patients with coronary artery disease from 74.5% at baseline to 34.6% (p<0.001).
