Home-based Cardiac Rehabilitation With Spot-jogging

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Center-based exercise training: All participants will undergo a spot jogging cardiopulmonary exercise test and a six-minute walking test. The outpatient center-based cardiac rehabilitation group will perform moderate-intensity stationary biking or treadmill exercise for 30 minutes, twice a week, under the supervision of a physical therapist in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room.

Home-based spot jogging: The home-based spot jogging cardiac rehabilitation group will receive exercise intensity guidance in the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation room for 30 minutes of spot jogging and treadmill exercise during the first, fourth, and seventh weeks. They will then perform moderate-intensity spot jogging at home for 30 minutes, twice a week, at a perceived exertion level of 13 out of 20 on the RPE scale.

Study summary

The first purpose of this study is to investigate the physiological changes of heart failure patients during cardiopulmonary exercise test with spot jogging and compare them with the standard stationary bike cardiopulmonary exercise test. The second one is to compare the effect between home-based cardiac rehabilitation using different step frequency and toe lift or not to adjust spot jogging intensity and outpatient center-based cardiac rehabilitation for heart failure patients.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Cardiopulmonary exercise test — baseline at enrollment and the end of treatment at 9 weeks (after 18 exercise sessions)
