Abstrakt:	Background: Physical activity (PA) is essential following an acute cardiac event. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is commonly prescribed, and PA after CR is recommended. Because of age-related changes in functional ability and multi-comorbidity, many older cardiac patients struggle to continue performing PA at home after CR. Depressive symptoms and anxiety are prevalent in cardiac patients and associated with poor self-care, including lack of daily PA. Yoga has been demonstrated to improve psychological and physical health outcomes in cardiac patients, but it is unknown whether yoga, modified for older CR patients - Gentle Yoga - is beneficial in managing psychological distress and maintaining PA following phase II CR. Our specific aims are to:1) determine the feasibility and acceptability of a modified gentle yoga intervention delivered via video conferencing for older cardiac patients; 2) compare, at 3-month follow-up, the effects and determine effect sizes of a gentle yoga intervention versus control on psychological health and physical health. Methods: We are conducting a 2-group (intervention versus control) randomized controlled pilot study. The intervention is a 12-week gentle yoga program delivered via video conference. Short-term effects will be evaluated at 3-month. Conclusion: This study is designed to be suited for older cardiac patients who would not have access to supervised PA opportunities after facility-based CR to enhance PA. This study will provide data about the feasibility and acceptability of the protocol for older cardiac patients and will offer effect sizes to determine sample size for a fully powered randomized controlled trial.
