Book Synopsis Sustaining physical activity following cardiac rehabilitation discharge by : Kelly R. Evenson
Download or read book Sustaining physical activity following cardiac rehabilitation discharge written by Kelly R. Evenson and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2021-01-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because many patients reduce exercise following outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR), we developed an intervention to assist with the transition and evaluated its feasibility and preliminary efficacy using a one-group pretest–posttest design. Five CR patients were enrolled ~1 month prior to CR discharge and provided an activity tracker. Each week during CR they received a summary of their physical activity and steps. Following CR discharge, participants received an individualized report that included their physical activity and step history, information on specific features of the activity tracker, and encouraging messages from former CR patients for each of the next 6 weeks. Mixed model trajectory analyses were used to test the intervention effect separately for active minutes and steps modeling three study phases: pre-intervention (day activity tracking began to CR discharge), intervention (day following CR discharge to day when final report sent), and maintenance (day following the final report to ~1 month later). Activity tracking was successfully deployed and, with weekly reports following CR, may offset the usual decline in physical activity. When weekly reports ceased, a decline in steps/day occurred. A scaled-up intervention with a more rigorous study design with sufficient sample size can evaluate this approach further.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of U.S. adults perform insufficient amounts of physical activity to prevent disease and maintain fitness. National recommendations prescribe fixed physical activity goals (e.g. 10,000 steps per day) that may fall outside of an individual's current physical activity repertoire. Prescribing smaller, more adaptive goals based on participant past behavior may be more efficacious at increasing physical activity to the target level. This study tested a pedometer-based intervention that prescribed adaptive goals and rewarded behavior using a percentile schedule of reinforcement. Five individuals enrolled into the intervention and were evaluated with a single-case withdrawal (ABA) design over 10 weeks. The six-week intervention consisted of one-time educational materials, daily adaptive goals, and contingent financial rewards administered on a percentile schedule. Daily goals were determined by ranking a participant's prior 9 days of physical activity (i.e. step counts) and selecting the 40th percentile of the distribution on a moving basis. A Lifecorder Plus, combined accelerometer and pedometer, measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) minutes per day and steps per day simultaneously. Visual analyses and multilevel statistical models for longitudinal data tested for change across phases. Based on visual analysis, four of the five women increased their median number of steps/day, and all five increased their median MVPA minutes/day. Participants increased their activity by 851 steps/day (range -829 to 2,450 steps) or approximately 5,957 steps per week, and 3.34 MVPA minutes/day (range 1.93 to 17.27 minutes) or approximately 23.38 MVPA minutes per week from baseline to the intervention phase. After adjusting for wear time and day of the week, the multilevel model detected a significant increase of 551.21 steps/day (SE = 258.26, p = .03) and 2.65 MVPA minutes/day (SE =1.09, p = .02) during the intervention phase compared to the baseline phase. This study provides a formal test of percentile schedules for physical activity research and provided intervention efficacy (i.e., 'proof of concept'). The findings may be used as a preliminary study to inform future work in this line of research.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. One of the primary modifiable and preventable risks for CVD is physical inactivity. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) was developed to slow or reverse CVD progression via increased physical activity, but 30-50% of those who enroll in CR will dropout prematurely. Among those who complete CR, 50-70% discontinue regular physical activity following CR. This dissertation incorporated two related studies examining exercise adherence and maintenance among CR patients. The first study evaluated the degree to which specific health-related beliefs and attitudes (i.e., irrational health beliefs, health-related social support, hope, will to live) predict adherence to a CR exercise-based program. The second study evaluated the effect of pedometer tracking on exercise adherence among post-CR patients in a randomized study with control participants engaging in usual care. This study also investigated the moderating influence of health-related beliefs and attitudes on exercise and exercise-related outcomes (e.g., number of steps, 6-minute walk, blood pressure, body mass index) in the pedometer intervention. The current study included 60 CR patients (56.7% Caucasian, 65.1% male, mean age = 57.0 + 10.8) who participated in a 12-week CR program. Thirty-eight participants completed CR and were randomized to a 3-month pedometer tracking intervention (n = 18) or usual care control group (n = 20).

This book was released on 2009 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To assess whether the provision of a pedometer and exercise diary could significantly increase the activity levels of phase II cardiac rehabilitation program patients on the days they did not attend the program. Methods: Seventy patients (53 males, 17 females, age of 68 plus/minus 9 yrs, BMI 29.0 plus/minus 6.1 kg/m2 participated in the study. During their first visit to a phase II CRP, patients were assigned to one of two groups. Control patients were given a blinded pedometer (n = 34), while experimental subjects received a pedometer that they could view (n = 36) as well as an exercise diary to record their daily step counts. Control patients wore the pedometer during all of their waking hours throughout phase II CRP enrollment and were encouraged to increase their overall activity levels in accordance with standard level of care. The baseline activity patterns of were determined during their first week of phase II CRP enrollment. Patients in the experimental group were encouraged to gradually increase their step counts on the days (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday; i.e., non-CRP days) they did not attend phase II CRP gradually until they were accumulating 2,000 steps/day above their baseline levels. Two sample t-tests were used to compare the baseline physical characteristics between genders as well as the control and experimental groups. Mean weekly step counts for both groups were compared based on overall and aerobic steps counts accumulated on CRP and non-CRP days using 2 times 7 repeated-measures ANOVAs. Results: At baseline, men took more overall steps than women and all patients took more steps on days they attended the phase II CRP, versus days they did not. There was a significant effect (p

Shephard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the new knowledge that has been gained from the objective monitoring of habitual physical activity by means of pedometers and accelerometers. It reviews current advances in the technology of activity monitoring and details advantages of objective monitors relative to physical activity questionnaires. It points to continuing gaps in knowledge, and explores the potential for further advances in the design of objective monitoring devices. Epidemiologists have studied relationships between questionnaire assessments of habitual physical activity and various medical conditions for some seventy years. In general, they have observed positive associations between regular exercise and good health, but because of inherent limitations in the reliability and accuracy of physical activity questionnaires, optimal exercise recommendations for the prevention and treatment of disease have remained unclear. Inexpensive pedometers and accelerometers now offer the epidemiologist the potential to collect relatively precisely graded and objective information on the volume, intensity and patterns of effort that people are undertaking, to relate this data to past and future health experience, and to establish dose/response relationships between physical activity and the various components of health. Such information is important both in assessing the causal nature of the observed associations and in establishing evidence-based recommendations concerning the minimal levels of daily physical activity needed to maintain good health.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a pedometer-based intervention on physical activity and self-efficacy among community college students in wellness classes (N = 154). The intervention included a pretest/posttest physical activity questionnaire, pedometer use, weekly goal setting and self-report of step data via the web. The experimental group wore pedometers daily for ten weeks; the control group wore pedometers for one week at baseline and week ten. Average weekday physical activity increased 29% for the experimental group and decreased 16% for the control group. Data analysis demonstrated a statistically significant difference due to the treatment regarding step count, differences in mean scores for self-efficacy, and a main effect for treatment for BMI. These results support the effectiveness of pedometer use to increase physical activity and self-efficacy in conjunction with a community college health curriculum.

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.
