Hybrid Exercise Program for Heart Disease: Effect on Health and Quality of Life

HybEST will be delivered three times weekly over eight weeks, with two supervised sessions at the center and 22 unsupervised sessions at home. The exercise characteristics of supervised HybEST and unsupervised HybEST are described. Monitoring methods for unsupervised HybEST include a wearable tracking device that collects data on patients' health parameters (arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, and blood pressure) and weekly phone calls. The unsupervised sessions will include video material on the home-based exercise program.

The UC group participants will participate in combined endurance and strength training similar to the intervention group's weekly center-based session over eight weeks.
