Why the study?
Physical activity levels in patients with CAD often fall below guideline recommendations, potentially due to kinesiophobia, prompting the evaluation of psychometric features of the Polish version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart.
Does the Polish version of the TSK Heart questionnaire demonstrate valid psychometric properties in patients with stable coronary artery disease?

May now support kinesiophobia screening in Polish CAD rehab; extends TSK-Heart validation and leaves open effects on PA adherence.
Does the Polish version of the TSK Heart questionnaire demonstrate valid psychometric properties in patients with stable coronary artery disease?
The Polish version of the TSK Heart questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for assessing kinesiophobia (fear of movement) in patients with stable coronary artery disease, which may aid in cardiac rehabilitation.
