Key result
Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation was not significantly different from a traditional supervised model in improving health-related quality of life and cardiovascular risk factors over an 8-week period.
Why the study?
Does a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation model improve health-related quality of life and functional capacity compared to a traditional supervised program in cardiac patients?

Does a hybrid cardiac rehabilitation model improve health-related quality of life and functional capacity compared to a traditional supervised program in cardiac patients?
p-value: p=0.47
A hybrid cardiac rehabilitation model involving both supervised and home-based exercise is as effective as a traditional supervised program, offering a viable alternative to improve participation.
Gabelhouse et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular disease (n=125). Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation vs. Traditional cardiac rehabilitation (on-site supervised exercise two days per week for eight weeks) was evaluated on Health related quality of life (HRQoL) measured by Cantril's Ladder of Life (p=0.47). Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation was not significantly different from a traditional supervised model in improving health-related quality of life and cardiovascular risk factors over an 8-week period.
