Moving with Purpose: Transition from Physical Activity to Structured Exercise
Ms Valerie Tan (Transcend Physiotherapy)
This presentation highlights the essential shift from general physical activity to structured exercise in cardiac rehabilitation. It explores the clinical benefits of targeted exercise, common barriers to this transition, and practical strategies – such as education, assessment-driven prescriptions, progressive exposure and behavioural support – to help clinicians guide patients effectively.
Participants will gain valuable insights to enhance rehabilitation outcomes by integrating structured exercise as a core component of cardiac care.
