Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a controlled pragmatic implementation study in clinical practice, with a primary focus on cardiovascular risk reduction through adherence to behavioral interventions related to physical activity and healthy diet.The intervention is interdisciplinary, multimodal and patient activating and uses the existing setting and work flows at the clinic, ensuring that the patients receive education about cardiovascular risk factors, physical activity and healthy diet through a systematic approach including targeted patient education.
Detailed Description
This clinical intervention study will investigate the effectiveness of a uniform and systematic institutional strategy incorporating targeted strategic patient education about cardiovascular risk factors, physical activity and a healthy diet lifestyle starting early in the primary rehabilitation process with 6 months of follow up compared to a historic control group. Test - retest reliability of four different VO2 peak tests and a multi sensor accelerometer respectively will be assessed as well.
