Reducing Exercise Sensitivity With Exposure Training
Participants in this group complete 2, at-home reducing exercise sensitivity with exposure training (RESET) intervention visits with research-trained personnel via video visits. They complete psychoeducation, interoceptive exposure, followed by interoceptive counseling. Participants also complete weekly physical activity journals throughout the intervention. Each RESET intervention visits can occur once or twice per week over the course of 2 weeks, based on patient preference. Reducing Exercise Sensitivity with Exposure Training: Participants complete 2, home-based intervention visits on a secure video visit platform. Video visits include psychoeducation, interoceptive exposure, and interoceptive counseling. For homework, participants are asked to document their weekly physical activity and exercise sensations in a journal. Psychoeducation: Participants are educated about the benefits and safety of exercise and cardiac rehabilitation, the role of fear and anxiety in exercise avoidance, and the concept of interoceptive exposure. Interoceptive Exposure: A gradual six-minute walk (G6MW) serves as a low-risk form of interoceptive exposure. Exercise sensations and ratings of perceived intensity and distress are collected before and after the G6MW. Interoceptive Counseling: Participants review and reflect upon their pre-walking and post-walking physical sensations and ratings (intensity and distress) with a research team member. Homework is also reviewed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and after pilot study completion (4 weeks)

The investigator will assess pre- to post-intervention change in exercise sensitivity using the Exercise Sensitivity Questionnaire (ESQ). The ESQ is an 18-item instrument designed to assess exercise sensitivity, specifically for use in adults with cardiac rehabilitation-qualifying conditions. Items reflect fear and anxiety of various bodily sensations and are rated from 0 to 4 ("not at all" to "very much), based on agreement with each statement. Scores of all the items are summed to create a total score, where higher scores reflect more sever exercise sensitivity (sum of 18 items, each rated on a 0-4 Likert scale; score range: 0-72, with higher scores indicating greater fear of exercise).

Change in Exercise Sensitivity Questionnaire Score
5.7 score on a scale
Standard Deviation 7.5

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and after pilot study completion (4 weeks)

The investigator will assess pre- to post-intervention change in physical activity using the short form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The short form IPAQ is a 7-item, open-ended questionnaire eliciting participant's last 7-day recall of physical activity to assess the time spent in different physical activities (vigorous, moderate, walking) as part of their everyday lives. The outcome is an estimate of total physical activity in MET-min/week.
