What is being tested?

The study compares the effects of targeted health coaching versus standard care on maintaining physical activity and functional fitness after structured cardiac rehabilitation in older adults. It aims to identify factors influencing post-rehab physical activity participation.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves health coaching rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or discomfort from increased physical activity as part of their personalized health plans.
