From the registry
Sedentary behaviour (SB) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor that remains highly prevalent among individuals attending long-term cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs, despite participation in regular supervised exercise. Although CR provides an ideal setting for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours, evidence on tailored interventions specifically targeting SB in long-term CR programs remains limited. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-month tailored behavioural intervention, supported by digital health tools, in reducing SB among adults attending a long-term phase CR program. Participants will be randomly allocated to either an intervention group (IG), receiving standard CR plus individualized behavioural counselling, digital prompts, and educational resources, or a standard care group (SCG) receiving usual CR and educational resources only. The primary outcome is objectively measured daily sedentary time assessed using activPAL4 (h/day). Secondary outcomes include objectively measured physical activity (PA), body composition,…
