This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a heart attack, stent, bypass surgery, or other heart procedure, most people join cardiac rehabilitation — a supervised exercise program. This study compares two ways of designing these programs for people over 60. One group will receive personalized exercise prescriptions based on a fitness test, while the other group will follow the standard approach used at most hospitals today.
Many older adults struggle to stay active after a heart event, and doctors aren't sure whether tailored exercise plans based on fitness testing lead to better results than the usual care approach. This research aims to find the most effective way to help people recover strength and confidence in exercising safely.
If you join this study, you'll first complete baseline tests including a 6-minute walking test, strength measurements, and wear a small activity monitor for a week. You'll also fill out surveys about your confidence in exercising. Then you'll be randomly assigned to either a personalized exercise program based on a detailed fitness test, or standard cardiac rehabilitation. Either way, you'll attend rehabilitation sessions twice a week for several weeks, do supervised exercise, and complete follow-up assessments to see how your fitness and activity levels improve.
