A Physical Activity Programme Focussed on Step Volume and Intensity for People With Cardiovascular Disease: Getting Active and Staying Active After Cardiac Rehabilitation (STEP COACH RCT)
Step Targets for Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: Towards Better Physical Activity Adherence Following Cardiac Rehab - A Randomised Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of a physical activity program, focussing on increasing step volume and step intensity (STEP COACH program), compared to usual care in patients with coronary heart problems. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of the STEP COACH program on physical activity levels in patients with coronary artery disease who participated in cardiac rehabilitation?
Participants will be randomised in 2 groups:
- Control group who receives usual care (i.e., a 3-month cardiac rehabilitation program);
- STEP COACH group who receives usual care and the 9-month STEP COACH program.
Objectively measured changes in physical activity time from pre to post STEP COACH program will be compared between groups to see if participants in the STEP COACH group are able to increase their daily physical activity time more compared to participants in the control group.
調査の概要
詳細な説明
People with coronary artery disease are strongly recommended to participate in cardiac rehabilitation programs to improve clinical outcomes and prevent premature death. However, emerging evidence shows that participation in contemporary cardiac rehabilitation programs does not or minimally impact habitual physical activity patterns, and that time spent in physical activity often decreases after completing these programs. Hence, there is a strong need for novel, complementary lifestyle programs to improve long-term adherence to physical activity guidelines in patients with coronary artery disease, as this could attenuate disease progression and the risk for adverse health outcomes.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the effect of the 9-month STEP COACH intervention on the daily minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity compared to usual care in patients with coronary artery disease.

武器と介入
参加者グループ / アーム |
介入・治療 |
|---|---|
|
介入なし:Usual care group
The usual care group will receive a 3-month cardiac rehabilitation program, as recommended by international guidelines.
The cardiac rehabilitation program consists of individual consultations with the nurse specialist on lifestyle, medical and psychosocial wellbeing, and an outpatient exercise program with a physiotherapist.
|
|
|
実験的:STEP COACH intervention group
The intervention group receives a 9-month, nurse-delivered physical activity intervention in addition to cardiac rehabilitation (i.e., usual care).
|
The STEP COACH program will encourage patients to progressively increase the volume (i.e.
number of daily steps) and intensity (i.e.
cadence >100 steps/min) of habitual physical activity.
To promote behaviour change, participants will receive 3 in-person consultations and additional telephone consultations with the nurse and study team, which focus on knowledge, motivation, action planning, self-monitoring, evaluation and long-term maintenance.
Participants will use their own smartwatch or smartphone to track and evaluate their habitual physical activity via an online platform.
