Coronary disease & ACSRandomised controlled trial
A remote booster program to attenuate sedentary behaviour in patients with coronary artery disease: a randomized controlled trial
- Randomised controlled trial
- 1:1
- stratified for gender
Authors' conclusion
The remote booster program effectively reduced ST and increased light PA in CAD patients.
Study context
- Population
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients who completed cardiac rehabilitation 2.0 (1.9–2.2) years earlier19% female
- Participants
- 21 vs 21
- Comparison
- 3-week remote booster intervention vs usual care
- Boostern = 21
- Controln = 21reference
- Primary endpoint
- Change in accelerometer-derived sedentary time
- Follow-up
- Baseline to post-intervention
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Change in sedentary time
Booster
−1.3
95% CI −2.0–-0.6 · h/day
Control
−0.1
95% CI −0.8–0.6 · h/day
P for interaction = 0.012
Secondary outcomes
| Outcome | Booster | Control | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Change in number of prolonged sedentary bouts | −1.1 (95% CI −1.6–-0.6) bouts/day | 0.2 (95% CI −0.3–0.7) bouts/day | P for interaction < 0.001 |
| Change in light PA | +1.1 (95% CI + 0.5; + 1.8) h/day | +0.2 (95% CI −0.4; + 0.8) h/day | P for interaction = 0.030 |
Change in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA) and step count
- Moderate-to-vigorous PA did not differ between groups
- P for interaction = 0.13
- Step count did not differ between groups
- P for interaction = 0.18
