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.
