Home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation With Spot-jogging

All participants will undergo a spot jogging cardiopulmonary exercise test and a six-minute walking test. The outpatient center-based cardiac rehabilitation group will perform moderate-intensity stationary biking or treadmill exercise for 30 minutes, twice a week, under the supervision of a physical therapist in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room.

The home-based spot jogging cardiac rehabilitation group will receive exercise intensity guidance in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room for 30 minutes of spot jogging and treadmill exercise during the first, fourth, and seventh weeks. They will then perform moderate-intensity spot jogging at home for 30 minutes, twice a week, at a perceived exertion level of 13 out of 20 on the RPE scale.
