Summary
This study aims to see if wearable foot-pods (like Stryd) and breathing frequency monitors can accurately measure exercise intensity in people who have had a heart attack in the past 6 months. 24 participants will perform walking tests on flat ground and a treadmill while their oxygen use and breathing are tracked. The goal is to develop simple, wearable-based guidelines for safe exercise prescription in cardiac rehab.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, wearable-based way to prescribe safe exercise levels for heart attack survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study (24 people) that only looks at measurements, not treatment. The findings may not apply to all heart patients or real-world settings.
