Improving outcomes from cardiac rehabilitation among older adults through exercise testing and individualized exercise intensity prescriptions
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Regular physical activity is essential for healthy aging of the heart and for older adults with heart disease, participation in cardiac rehabilitation is an ideal opportunity to deliver a highly tailored and personalized exercise prescription. In this project, we will evaluate the impact of a tailored exercise prescription that optimizes exercise intensity in cardiac rehabilitation, compared to usual care, with the goal to maximize fitness gains and long-term physical activity. We anticipate our results will help improve exercise prescription tailoring to help older adults increase their fitness, improve their levels of physical activity, and enjoy both a better quality and quantity of life as they age.
