Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoint is the change in physical activity volume (min/week) between the four groups at post-CR and after follow-up. Physical activity patterns will be objectively measured with a validated activity-monitor (ActivPAL micro, PAL technologies, Glasgow, United Kingdom). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study endpoints are: * The change in total sitting time (min/week) between the four groups at post-CR and after follow-up. * Physical fitness between the four groups at post-CR and after follow-up measured with a submaximal exercise test (Astrand-rhyming) * Handgrip strength * Quality of life (Quality of life questionnaire - heart) * Cardiac anxiety (Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire). * Laboratory values (lipid spectrum, cardiac biomarkers) | — |
