Exercise groups are a form of rehabilitation sport that is offered to cardiac patients (e.g. after a heart attack) in long-term rehabilitation. In Germany, the constant presence of a physician is mandatory. In order to meet the increasing demand for heart groups, the present study implements emergency care during the heart group sessions with three alternatives: paramedics, physician-on-call or specially trained instructors. In the present study the investigators compare these alternatives (three experimental conditions) with the conventional way (control condition). Perceived safety, trust, acceptance and organisational feasibility are the main outcomes of the study. The methods used are questionnaires to the participants, instructors, organizers and, if applicable, paramedics. Additionally, partially structured interviews with attending physicians are conducted according to an interview guide.

Other | Other questions on the implementation of the concept (M3) | The questionnaire containing the 4 primary outcome questions includes also other questions on the implementation of the concept, e.g. the supervision, the communication between actors and the activity of the exercise instructor. No score is calculated. | Month 3 of the intervention. The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |
Other | Other questions on the implementation of the concept (M10) | The questionnaire containing the 4 primary outcome questions includes also other questions on the implementation of the concept, e.g. the supervision, the communication between actors and the activity of the exercise instructor. No score is calculated. | Month 10 of the intervention. The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |
Primary | Trust at M3 | Trust of the participants, instructors, organizers and paramedics towards the three alternative versions in cardiac rehabilitation. It is measured with one question offering a six-point Likert scale. The feasibility criterion is met, if 50% or less of the respondents tick box 5 or 6 (strong rejection/ no trust). | Month 3 of the intervention. The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |

The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |
Primary | Willingness at M3 | Willingness of the participants, instructors and organizers to implement the versions of the supervisor conception. It is assessed with a "yes-no-question" in the questionnaire. The feasibility criterion is met, if 50% or less of the respondents answer "no". | Month 3 of the intervention. The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |

Primary | Potential at M3 | Assessment of the organizers, instructors and paramedics if the supervisor conception has the potential to be able to offer more cardiac rehabilitation groups. It is measured with one question offering a six-point Likert scale. The feasibility criterion is met, if 50% or less of the respondents tick box 5 or 6 (strong rejection/ no potential). | Month 3 of the intervention. The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |

The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |
Primary | Costs at M3 | Organizers are asked if the supervisor conception causes more, less or the same amount of costs compared to the conventional cardiac rehabilitation group. It is measured with one question offering a seven-point Likert scale. The feasibility criterion is met, if 50% or less of the respondents tick box 6 or 7 (more or much more costs). | Month 3 of the intervention. The clubs received the questionnaires by mail and had one month to fill them out and send them back. | |
