Timeline
Interventions
A home-based exercise mobile app will be offered combined with the heart rate sensing clothes to each participant in the group of home-based telehealth exercise training program. The mobile app provides auto-feedback of heart rate at each exercise training session through the heart rate sensing clothes and alarm function identifying individuals' appropriate exercise intensity (target heart rate) during their exercise based on their exercise prescription calculated and set up inside the app. After completing each exercise training session, the record of training time and heart rate response is simultaneously uploaded to the cloud system of the medical center through the heart rate sensing clothes. The experienced and well-trained nurse checked the cloud system data to monitor participants' adherence to exercise training. In addition, online communication is enabled using LINE software, which provided a platform for patients and researchers to interact with each other through messaging.
The participants will receive a exercise prescription suggestion. Then, they will maintain their usual lifestyles without exercise reminders.
