Strategies to Improve Physical Activity Levels in Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients

About this course

Please visit this page for more information on CEPA.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is effective at increasing physical activity on days patients attend CR. However, patients accumulate significantly less physical activity on non-CR days. Many strategies have been shown to increase physical activity on non-CR days but taking a "one size fits all approach" may not be appropriate for all patients. This course will review strategies to facilitate a physically active lifestyle beyond CR and provide guidance on individualizing to the patient's needs.
