This research aims to analyze the development of steps/day after CR.Methods: 126 adult, stable cardiac patients who had completed treatment for their acute condition, usually acute coronary syndrome or heart failure, were enrolled during CR and advised for daily step recording up to one year post CR. Mean number of steps during and for 3 weeks post CR were compared by paired t-test. Furthermore, influence of gender, age, smoking, NYHA, EF, BMI, day of the year, and length of time post CR on steps/day were estimated using a generalized additive regression model.Results: Compared to CR, steps/day increased on average by 925steps/day in the first 3 weeks (p0.05), whereas seasonal correlations existed, indicating a summer increase and a winter decline (p |
