X-CircuiT, a smartphone-guided multi-component exercise program, is non-inferior to conventional telephone-guided exercise in improving cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) for patients with coronary artery disease and risk factors.
Both exercise regimens significantly improved peak oxygen uptake and muscular endurance without adverse events over 12 weeks.
No significant differences were found regarding health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, or exercise adherence between the two interventions.
