About this trial

In this study, investigators will compare standard Aerobic Training/AT with adaptive Aerobic Training/AT. Standard AT will be a fixed (unchanging) amount of walking each week, while adaptive AT will adjust the level of exercise depending on participants' response to the exercise. Investigators will see how both study approaches (standard AT and adaptive AT) affect participants' CRF.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Adaptive Aerobic Training/AT Dosing

    Behavioral

    o In Phase A (\~32 weeks), AT will consist of supervised walking delivered up to 7 days per week using an adaptive dosing schedule that starts at 90 min/wk and is escalated 30 min/wk every 2 weeks to a maximal dose of 300 mins/wk. In Phase B (\~20 weeks), AT will consist of supervised adaptive AT dosing in patients with a CRF Δ\<3.50 ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 from baseline to \~32 weeks, or unsupervised AT in patients with a CRF Δ\>3.50 ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 from baseline to \~32 weeks. Supervised AT will be monitored using TeleEx.

  • Standard (fixed) Aerobic Training/AT dosing

    Behavioral

    In Phase A (\~32 weeks), AT will consist of supervised walking delivered up to 7 days per week to achieve a cumulative total duration of: 90 min/wk (standard fixed dosing). In Phase B (\~20 weeks), AT will consist of supervised adaptive AT dosing in patients with a CRF Δ\<3.50 ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 from baseline to \~32 weeks, or unsupervised AT in patients with a CRF Δ\>3.50 ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 from baseline to \~32 weeks. Supervised AT will be monitored using TeleEx.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) response rate

The primary endpoint will be CRF response rate as assessed by the proportion of patients with a peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak; ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 ) change from baseline (T0) to T2 (\~32 weeks) of ≥3.50 ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 . A CRF change ≥3.50 ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 will be considered a response; a change \<3.50 ml O2 .kg-1.min-1 will be considered a non-response.
