Summary

A randomized control trial (RCT) is planned to evaluate a web-based intervention (CardioFit) against usual care in increasing physical activity levels in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We hypothesize that compared to usual care, participants in CardioFit will; a) have increased physical activity levels, b) will have a higher health-related quality of life at measurement dates and, c) will have greater improvements in psychosocial predictors.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CardioFit

CardioFit is a 26-week tailored web-based physical activity coaching service for individuals with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). It has been designed to help patients develop personalized exercise programs based on their medical history, personal goals and preferences. Access to Cardio-fit is through a secured website. The cardio-fit website contains physical activity advice and heart health educational information. Each patient is assigned an on-line coach, whose role is to assist in creating safe an effective physical activity program, and to answer any questions that patients may have throughout the program.
