Summary

This study looks at whether tai chi exercises and wearable fitness trackers can help people who have survived a heart attack (acute coronary syndrome) become more physically active. About 70 adults who are currently inactive will take part. The goal is to see if this approach is enjoyable and helps people stick with exercise.
