Motivational Program on Physical Activity in Cardio-respiratory Patients: an RCT Study
Effects of Physical Activity of an In-hospital Motivational Program in Cardio-respiratory Patients: a Randomized Control Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Nov 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
According to actual scientific evidence, the interventions on the general population aiming at regular physical activity are one of the most efficient strategies for health improvement. Regardless of this evidence, there is a large part of the elderly population does not adhere to the recommendations of the international guidelines on daily physical activity. This is even more evident in patients with chronic respiratory and cardiological disease because exercise exacerbates existing symptoms of breathlessness. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an in-hospital motivational program dedicated to increasing physical activity. With the data of an electronic wristwatch that keeps records of movement, the health professionals incentive an increase in physical activity leading to long term behavioural changes (evaluated by the number of steps per day) in hospitalized patients with COPD and HF, which already perform a standard rehabilitation program (14 sessions).
