This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is part of the current multidisciplinary approach to the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), uptake and adherence is low. Reasons are multifactorial and include, time, accessibility, transport issues and motivation. Advances in technology have the potential to enable the delivery of home-based CR (HBCR). The purpose of this PhD research program was to evaluate the efficacy of a technology enabled HBCR program (PATHway) compared to usual care (UC) Study 1 Heart rate (HR) monitoring using wrist-worn watches allows patients to monitor and adjust their exercise intensity to meet their rehabilitation goals. This study assessed the accuracy of commercially available wristwatch HR monitors. There was a significant correlation between wrist-worn monitors and the criterion measure (3-lead Holter monitor) at both rest and during exercise with appropriate limits of agreement. Study 2 Exercise training is one of the core elements of CR. This study assessed exercise session duration, physiological and perceptual responses of participants (n=53) using PATHway, a 6 month, home-based technology enabled CR program. Participants used the PATHway system for an average of 36 min per session at an intensity corresponding to 67% HRR. The average RPE per sessions was 5.2 on the 0-10 Borg scale. Study 3 Study 3 compared anthropometric measures, cardiorespiratory fitness, strength (sit-to-stand, isokinetic and isometric strength and hand grip), vascular structure (cIMT) and function (FMD) and blood biomarkers between CVD patients (n=120) randomized to PATHway and UC. There was no change in cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, vascular structure or function in either PATHway or UC at 6-months.

AACVPR Cardiac Rehabilitation Resource Manual combines reference-based data with practical information from the field. It applies current position statements, recommendations, and scientific knowledge from medical and scientific literature to aid in designing and developing safe, effective, and comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation programs. Useful for practitioners as well as students and instructors who are learning and teaching key concepts, AACVPR Cardiac Rehabilitation Resource Manual provides strong background support to topics addressed in the guidelines, such as risk factors for coronary heart disease, secondary prevention, psychosocial issues, and patients with special considerations. In addition, each chapter opens with a cross-reference box so that readers know where to reference the topic in the guidelines book. In addition to supporting information for the guidelines, the manual contains new information to help round out cardio programs. Topics include the atherosclerotic disease process, cardiovascular and exercise physiology, exercise prescription, and the electrocardiogram. AACVPR Cardiac Rehabilitation Resource Manual is divided into three parts. Part I examines the development and prevention of coronary artery disease, including reduction of risk factors, psychosocial issues and strategies, and contemporary procedures for revascularization. Part II delineates the role of exercise in heart disease, including the exercise and coronary artery disease connection, cardiovascular and exercise physiology, and exercise prescription. Part III focuses on special considerations, including heart disease as it relates to women and to the elderly and considerations for people with diabetes, chronic heart failure, and heart transplants. AACVPR Cardiac Rehabilitation Resource Manual contains pertinent, detailed information on the topics involved in contemporary cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease. Teamed with Guidelines for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Programs, the book provides professionals and students with the full range of guidelines and background materials needed for teaching and understanding the key issues in cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention.

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.

Download or read book Efficacy of an Interactive Education Model Within Center Based Cardiac Rehabilitation and Hybrid Home based Rehabilitation Odels Compared with a Traditional Education Model written by Jana Swanson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To develop the protocol for a hybrid home-based cardiac rehabilitation model within Indiana University Health medical system. Methods: Participants were referred to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) by a physician. During each participant's orientation, they were assigned into one of three research groups: an onsite traditional print education CR group as the control, an onsite online education group, and a hybrid home-based (HHBCR) group whose education was entirely the online education format. Patients who were unable to attend onsite CR were assigned to the HHBCR group which included online interactive education and home exercise sessions. 16 patients were initially recruited, and 7 patients completed CR to provide a framework for developing a HHBCR program. Data were collected before and after CR and included scores on several questionnaires: CADE-Q2, PHQ-9, Rate Your Plate, and a 6-minute walk test. Results: 2 patients completed onsite traditional CR, 3 patients completed online education onsite, and 2 patients completed 30-day outcomes for hybrid home-based CR with online education. The control group with print education, had increases of 9-11 points between their CADE-Q2 pre-assessment and post-assessment. The onsite online education group showed changes of -6-28 between their CADE-Q2 pre-assessment and post-assessment. The hybrid home-based online education group had increases of 4-5 points between their CADE-Q2 pre-assessment and post-assessment. All patients increased their 6MWT score pre-post assessment except for one patient in the hybrid home-based interactive education group. Conclusion: Both traditional and online education models appear to be effective for CR patients, showing that it is important to be adaptable in order to provide strong health care services to patients in ways that are most effective and impactful to them. The hybrid-home-based care model could provide access to rehabilitation services for patients who cannot attend onsite CR for any reason. Future work in this area is necessary to continue to develop protocols that are effective and accessible for patients and clinicians alike.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Book excerpt: "In this thesis we have developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a home-based training intervention for cardiac rehabilitation patients that accommodates the preferences and constraints of patients while retaining the effectiveness of conventional, centre-based cardiac rehabilitation. In the first part of this thesis, we showed that the effectiveness of centre-based exercise programmes for coronary artery patients and chronic heart failure patients is mainly determined by their total energy expenditure. This means that adjustments to programme characteristics (training intensity, session duration and frequency, programme length) can be made freely, without impairing effects on exercise capacity, provided that energy expenditure as a whole is preserved. Therefore, training programmes can be tailored towards patients' preferences and translated to the home environment. In the second part of this thesis, we showed that wearable sensors can accurately assess physical activity levels of beta-blocker-medicated cardiac patients in the home-environment. In addition, we described a randomised controlled trial studying the clinical and cost-effectiveness of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with telemonitoring guidance compared to centre-based cardiac rehabilitation. Home-based training resulted in similar improvements in physical fitness and health-related quality life as centre-based training, with a trend towards lower costs. We concluded that home-based cardiac rehabilitation with telemonitoring guidance is a useful alternative to centrebased cardiac rehabilitation for young and motivated patients with low-to-moderate cardiac risks."--Samenvatting auteur.
