Cardiac Patients’ Walking Activity Determined by a Step Counter in Cardiac Telerehabilitation: Data From the Intervention Arm of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Cardiac Patients’ Walking Activity Determined by a Step Counter in Cardiac Telerehabilitation: Data From the Intervention Arm of a Randomized Controlled Trial

In another of Teledi@log’s substudies, Thorup et al [45] found that self-monitoring of steps provided a conscious awareness of walking activity due to the immediate feedback on step activity. In our study, males represented 51 of 64 (80%) participants, almost the same as in comparable studies [12,35,39,46]. The correlation between high BMI and low steps per day has been seen in other studies [13,15,24] and may be considered a health problem for cardiac patients [3].
