Community-based PA program
After completing the PR program, the experimental group (EG) will enroll in a 6-month personalized community-based PA program, which should be attended twice-weekly, minimum. During the first month the physiotherapist will guide patients through all available physical activities; afterwards, patients will be asked to choose one or two activities, according to their preference, which they'll attend for five more months. Physiotherapists' support will gradually decrease over time.
