NCT03103854

Brief Summary

This is a 2x2 study examining the impacts of a novel exercise regimen and daily text message reminders in patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation will be randomized to either moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) or a novel exercise regimen consisting of three periods of high intensity exercise, called BURST exercise. Additionally, half of the patients in each exercise group will be randomized to receive daily text message reminders to improve adherence to the prescribed exercise regimen.

BURST and Text Message Reminders

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the "BURST and Text Message Reminders" arm of the study performed Burst physical activity and received text message reminders

Behavioral: BURST physical activityBehavioral: Text Message Reminders

Interventions

BURST is a novel exercise regimen consisting of three daily periods of 10 minutes of high intensity physical activity spread throughout the day.

Also known as: Exercise Snacks
BURSTBURST and Text Message Reminders

Patients were sent daily text message reminders to remind them to exercise.

BURST and Text Message RemindersText Message Reminders

This is the current standard of care for cardiac rehabilitation patients. It consists of 1 daily period of 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity.
