Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The main study endpoint is the change in physical activity volume (min/week)<br /><br>between the four groups at post-CR and after follow-up. Physical activity<br /><br>patterns will be objectively measured with a validated activity-monitor<br /><br>(ActivPAL micro, PAL technologies, Glasgow, United Kingdom). </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Secondary study endpoints are:<br /><br>* The change in total sitting time (min/week) between the four groups at<br /><br>post-CR and after follow-up.<br /><br>* Physical fitness between the four groups at post-CR and after follow-up<br /><br>measured with a submaximal exercise test (Astrand-rhyming)<br /><br>* Handgrip strength<br /><br>* Quality of life (Quality of life questionnaire - heart)<br /><br>* Cardiac anxiety (Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire).<br /><br>* Laboratory values (lipid spectrum, cardiac biomarkers) </p><br>
