To examine the behaviour change techniques that have been used in physical
activity (PA) interventions to increase PA during and after completing cardiac
rehabilitation (CR) and for patients who do not attend CR (non-CR). PubMed,
PsychINFO, SPORTdiscus,
Web of Science, Prowler and Cochrane databases were
searched to identify studies that described an intervention delivered to adults
in the CR and non-CR contexts that focused solely on promoting PA. Twenty-three
studies (14 post-CR and nine non-CR) were included in this review. Findings
showed that interventions can increase PA; however, there were notable
differences across CR contexts in their purpose, the participant demographics,
and some of the behaviour change techniques used. Techniques shown to be most
effective in the post-CR context were self-monitoring, setting specific goals,
identifying barriers and developing plans for relapse prevention. In the non-CR
context, unsupervised home-based interventions were shown to be effective at
increasing PA, particularly when accompanied by follow-up prompts, general
encouragement, specific goals set by the researcher and self-monitoring. Post-CR
and non-CR interventions can result in improved PA outcomes; however, the
research in this area is limited. More interventions are needed that target
PA-only, particularly in the non-CR context.
