Key result
A tele-oriented exercise program at home maintained a weekly training rate of 2.8 sessions per week, similar to the pre-quarantine face-to-face average of 2.7 sessions per week.
Why the study?
During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, home fitness became essential to prevent sedentarism and decompensation in chronic disease patients requiring cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
Does a tele-oriented exercise program at home maintain weekly training rates in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic?

Does a tele-oriented exercise program at home maintain weekly training rates in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation patients during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic?
A home-based tele-oriented exercise program successfully maintained pre-pandemic exercise frequency in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation patients during COVID-19 isolation, though patients with diabetes showed significantly lower engagement.
Supports tele-oriented home exercise as feasible during isolation; leaves open efficacy, adherence durability, and generalizability in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.

Espinosa et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Cardiopulmonary disease requiring rehabilitation (n=94). Tele-oriented exercise program at home (TOEP) vs. Pre-quarantine face-to-face rehabilitation was evaluated on Weekly Training Rate (WTR) (p=>0.05). A tele-oriented exercise program at home maintained a weekly training rate of 2.8 sessions per week, similar to the pre-quarantine face-to-face average of 2.7 sessions per week.
