Practical implications
CAD, cardiovascular disease
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, CAD
This study demonstrates that the nurse-delivered SIT LESS behaviour change intervention appears feasible, acceptable and potentially beneficial to reduce time spent sedentary among patients with CAD. A larger, cluster randomised trial is warranted to provide a more accurate estimate of its effects on sedentary time and clinical outcomes. Reducing sedentary behaviour is a promising target in preventive cardiology and may improve habitual physical activity of cardiovascular disease patients beyond supervised exercise training sessions. Personalised behaviour change interventions that are supported by technology-based programmes and supplemented with (digital) coaching may become the new standard of future CR programmes.
