A Clinical Guide for Assessment and Prescription of Exercise and Physical Activity in Cardiac Rehabilitation - A CSANZ Position Statement
THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT. A recording will be available on the ESSA Professional Development Hub within 2 weeks of the event.
Patients with cardiovascular disease benefit from cardiac rehabilitation, which includes structured exercise and physical activity as core components. This position statement provides pragmatic, evidence-based guidance for the assessment and prescription of exercise and physical activity for cardiac rehabilitation clinicians, recognising the latest international guidelines, scientific evidence and the increasing use of technology and virtual delivery methods. The patient-centred assessment and prescription of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise and physical activity have been addressed, including progression and safety considerations.
This presentation is for all clinicians who assess and prescribe exercise and physical activity for patients with cardiovascular disease. This presentation will be presented by the lead authors of the position paper to provide the latest evidence and guidelines to implement in Australian clinics in a practical manner.
