Long-term Physical Activity Behavior After Completion of Traditional Versus Fast-track Cardiac Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings support the long-term effectiveness of CR on exercise capacity irrespective of the delivery model. However, participation in CR program, whether it be a traditional or fast-track CR exercise program, may not lead to long-term PA behavior change. Thus, CR participants may benefit from structured strategies that promote long-term PA adherence in addition to facilitating exercise capacity improvement.
