Summary

Cardiovascular Rehabilitation (CR) programs are designed to help people recover following a heart attack, heart surgery, or diagnosis of heart disease. Counseling, education, risk factor management, and efforts to increase levels of MVPA constitute the largest components of CR programs. Technological advances in video-conferencing and video-streaming are affording new opportunities to increase access to CR services and supervised exercise sessions for patients who are social distancing, or who face access issues (e.g., time, mobility, transportation etc.). Comfort with these technologies for CR staff and patients has been accelerated by the current pandemic. Technology-enabled interactions between patients and providers is a significant opportunity to help mitigate these effects. We developed a new model for delivery of group exercise training for people with heart disease. Our model delivers all the core components of CR (i.e. counseling, education, risk factor management) but also includes live-streaming of CR exercise classes. Two versions of these classes are available: one that does not require any exercise equipment; and one that relies on a stationary exercise bike and exercise band delivered and installed in patients' homes. The new model has performed well in proof-of-concept testing, but now needs to be rigorously evaluated.

Conditions

  • Cardiac Disease

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise Streaming (ES)

Participants will complete 8 weeks (1 class per week) of supervised exercise online. No equipment is required. They will follow a pre-recorded exercise video and at the same time, get instruction, feedback and support from their coach. Each class will be held as a teleconference.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise Streaming + Equipment (ES+E)

Participants will complete 8 weeks (1 class per week) of supervised exercise online. Each participant will have a stationary exercise bike delivered to their home for use during their live classes. They will follow a pre-recorded exercise video and at the same time, get instruction, feedback and support from their coach. Each class will be held as a teleconference.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

Participants will complete 8 weeks (1 class per week) of in-person supervised exercise.
