Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how walking in different environments affects the psychophysiological responses to the stress of individuals with coronary artery disease CAD according to their weather sensitivity Awareness about the potential influence of weather sensitivity on the psychophysiological reactions to stress in patients with CAD disease may contribute to the planning and implementation of actions leading to improved medical care services and preventative measures that help to avoid the worsening of health and well-being in the future
Detailed Description:
The environment might influence ones course of a disease and health prospective through direct exposure to physical chemical social and psychosocial risk factors as well as indirectly through behavior-related changes response to those factors Classical risk factors only partially account for variations in the occurrence incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease CVD Therefore other less-explored factors need to be taken in consideration when referring to CVD epidemiology
The main goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how walking in different environments affects the psychophysiological responses to the stress of individuals with coronary artery disease CAD during rehabilitation An experimental study will be carried out including individuals with CAD attending cardiac rehabilitation The hypothesis is that psychophysiological reactions to stress in weather-sensitive WS individuals with CAD will differ from non-WS individuals when walking outdoors in a natural environment
To achieve the main goal the following specific tasks will be implemented
1 To determine how walking in a natural environment affects the psychophysiological reactions to stress in individuals with CAD
2 To determine how walking in the gym affects the psychophysiological reactions to stress in individuals with CAD
3 To analyse the associations between the psychophysiological reactions to stress of individuals with CAD and the walking environment considering the sensitivity to the weather
4 To determine the connections between mental flexibility and weather sensitivity
The participants will be randomly assigned to either walking outdoors OUT or walking indoors IN groups OUT group will walk in natural environment in the park along a pre-designated route IN group will walk in a gym on a treadmill The order and sequence of measurements within each trial will be the same During both interventions the participants will be supervised by investigators
The idea is to increase knowledge about the impact of the natural environment on well-being and health and to provide more information to health professionals and the public Awareness about the potential influence of weather sensitivity on the psychophysiological reactions to stress in patients with CAD disease may contribute to the planning and implementation of actions leading to improved medical care services and preventative measures that help to avoid the worsening of health and well-being in the future Protective measures should be directed towards susceptible groups rather than the population The outcomes of this experiment may have direct clinical applications for the use of different types of environments in cardiac rehabilitation
