    Description

    Measure It is a very brief intervention, taking clinicians less than 5 minutes to complete. It includes a self-report and objective measure of physical activity (wearable activity tracker steps) plus physical activity advice. If Measure It is successful, we will be able to recommend ways to incorporate this very brief intervention into cardiac rehabilitation service delivery. It will be a time and cost-effective approach to targeting physical activity within and beyond cardiac rehabilitation programs. Results will potentially drive changes in current practice, directly informing the development and implementation of cardiac rehabilitation services, leading to improved health for a large number of Australians with heart disease.
