Heart rehab: do men and women keep moving the same?

NCT ID NCT07214350

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tracks 150 adults in cardiac rehab to see if men and women differ in how much they move during and up to 6 months after the program. Participants wear activity trackers and complete fitness tests at three visits over 10 months. The goal is to understand barriers to staying active, so future programs can better support everyone.

What could go wrong
