Key result
Long-term physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation preserved weight, physical capacity, and arterial compliance at 18.3 months, whereas a sedentary lifestyle led to significant worsening.
Why the study?
Does long-term physical activity practice after cardiac rehabilitation prevent deterioration of weight, physical capacity, and arterial compliance in post-cardiac rehabilitation patients?

Does long-term physical activity practice after cardiac rehabilitation prevent deterioration of weight, physical capacity, and arterial compliance in post-cardiac rehabilitation patients?
Maintaining physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation is crucial to preserve improvements in weight, exercise capacity, and arterial compliance.

Supports sustained activity post-rehab in observational data; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Freyssin et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Post-cardiac rehabilitation. Long-term physical activity vs. Sedentary lifestyle was evaluated on Weight, physical capacity (6-min walk test distance), and arterial compliance. Long-term physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation preserved weight, physical capacity, and arterial compliance at 18.3 months, whereas a sedentary lifestyle led to significant worsening.
