Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators would like to test the feasibility of a remotely prescribed and monitored exercise program in people with coronary heart disease, using a wearable activity device and text message support, compared to usual care after completing cardiac rehabilitation. One group will use a Polar Ignite watch to guide them through exercise sessions at home and will receive text message feedback. The other group will be asked to continue their routine as usual. Assessments of both groups will happen after the completion of cardiac rehabilitation and at three follow-up time points of three, six, and twelve months. The aim of these treatments is to see if the investigators can help people to maintain their exercise adherence and coronary heart disease risk factor management after completing cardiac rehabilitation.


Clinical Trial Description

Following the completion of centre-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR), lifetime adoption of physical activity (PA) and adherence to exercise is often poor. Wearable activity monitors may be a tool to remotely prescribe and monitor PA and exercise to promote long term behaviour change. This research aims to assess the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial (RCT) testing a remotely prescribed and monitored long-term maintenance exercise programme in cardiac rehabilitation graduates with coronary heart disease (CHD). 30 participants with CHD will be recruited to a 12-month feasibility RCT and randomised into 2 arms: 1) a home-based watch intervention group and 2) a best practice usual care control group. The intervention group will receive an initial exercise consultation, personalised exercise prescription delivered via a Polar Ignite watch, and monitoring via check-ins and feedback text-message support with a clinical exercise physiologist. The control group will receive no intervention. All participants will undergo assessment at baseline (following the completion of CR) and at 3 follow up time points including 3-, 6- and 12-months. The primary outcome will be to assess feasibility and other process-related outcomes. The secondary outcomes will include exercise capacity, physical activity and sedentary behaviour, exercise time, cardiovascular disease risk, quality of life, depression, anxiety, self-efficacy, patient activation, health utility, health and social care resource use, cost, and adverse and serious adverse events. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-randomisation to explore the views, perceptions, acceptability, and experiences of the remotely prescribed and monitored exercise intervention and trial procedures. Participants who drop out or choose not to participate will be offered a semi-structured interview or a questionnaire, respectively, to understand feasibility. Overall, there is a need to support people post-CR to remotely maintain PA and exercise behaviour for secondary prevention of CHD particularly during the era of government-enforced restrictions or lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The MAINTAIN study will assess the feasibility of longer-term remote prescription and monitoring of maintenance exercise following CR using a wearable activity monitor and text message support compared to best practice usual care for people diagnosed with CHD. ;
