Very brief intervention for physical activity behaviour change in cardiac rehabilitation: protocol for the 'Measure It!' effectiveness-implementation hybrid trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Physical inactivity is a risk factor for repeat cardiac events and all-cause mortality in coronary heart disease (CHD). Cardiac rehabilitation, a secondary prevention programme, aims to increase physical activity levels in this population from a reported low baseline. This trial will investigate the effectiveness and implementation of a very brief physical activity intervention, comparing different frequencies of physical activity measurement by cardiac rehabilitation clinicians. The Measure It! intervention (<5 min) includes a self-report and objective measure of physical activity (steps) plus very brief physical activity advice.

Methods and analysis

This type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation study will use a two-arm multicentre assessor-blind randomised t
