Accurate activity tracking devices offer researchers and clinicians the potential to influence physical activity behaviour change, make a direct and real-time impact on self-management of physical activity and offer clinicians real world assessments of their patients’ daily activity patterns, said researchers from the University of Sydney in Australia. To ascertain and evaluate the effectiveness of monitoring the physical activity of cardiac patients, the researchers evaluated 48 patients and family members participating in community-based exercise programmes.

The 48 participants wore the device for four days to monitor daily step counts and minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The use of such devices offers significant promise to scientists working in the cardiac rehabilitation programme to evaluate, monitor and encourage physical activity that is integral to recovery, the researchers concluded.
