Brief summary
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in France for women and the second leading cause of death for men after cancer. They cause around 140,000 deaths every year, or almost 400 people every day throughout France. CVD also accounts for over a million hospital admissions a year, 160,000 of which are attributable to heart failure. At present, cardiovascular rehabilitation centres mainly use exercise training methods based on sessions on cycloergometers and active walking (walking on a track and/or treadmill). Convinced of the added value of Orienteering, we have included it in our routine treatment as part of our Cardiac Rehabilitation programme, in addition to sessions on cycloergometers and active walking since 2021. As there is little literature on the subject in our population of interest, the aim of this study is to provide evidence of the relevance of orienteering in the cardiac rehabilitation programme. We hypothesise that orienteering induces a similar cardiac response, amount of physical activity and perception of symptoms compared with an active walking session, while providing greater enjoyment of the activity.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To compare the average heart rate between an active walking session and an orientation walking session during the cardiac rehabilitation stay. | once during the second and third week of cardiac rehabilitation | Average heart rate measured during the active walking session and the orienteering race. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compare the performance of the physical activity performed during the active walking versus orienteering session. | once during the second and third week of cardiac rehabilitation | Physical activity performance will be measured for each session by the total number of steps taken during active walking and orienteering. |
| Compare the perception of effort between the active walking, orienteering and cycloergometer sessions. | once during the second and third week of cardiac rehabilitation | Perceived motivation to carry out the activity using a Likert scale from 0 to 5. The Likert scale is a semantic scoring system, generally made up of 5 or 7 items, which is used in surveys to measure and evaluate perceptions, attitudes and opinions. |
| To compare the intensity of effort between the active walking, orienteering and cycloergometer sessions. | once during the second and third week of cardiac rehabilitation | The maximum heart rate (bpm) will be collected for each of the three sessions. |
| To compare the desire to continue physical activity between the active walking, orienteering and cycloergometer sessions. | once during the second and third week of cardiac rehabilitation | The desire to continue physical activity between the three physical activities will be measured by a Likert scale from 0 to 5. The Likert scale is a semantic rating system, generally composed of 5 or 7 items, which is used in surveys to measure and evaluate perceptions, attitudes and opinions. |
| Compare the heart rate kinetics during the three sessions (orienteering, active walking and cycloergometer). | once during the second and third week of cardiac rehabilitation | Changes in heart rate over the three sessions (recorded every 5 minutes for 50 minutes for each session) |
| Compare the sensation of pleasure between the active walking, orienteering and cycloergometer sessions. | once during the second and third week of cardiac rehabilitation | The feeling of pleasure for the three activity sessions will be measured on a Likert scale from 0 to 5. The Likert scale is a semantic rating system, generally composed of 5 or 7 items, which is used in surveys to measure and evaluate perceptions, attitudes and opinions. |
