This session, recorded at the 2025 Annual Meeting, will provide participants with a review of the recently published AACVPR Position Statement entitled: Volume of exercise to Optimize Outcomes in Cardiac Rehabilitation. The central components of the exercise prescription including frequency, intensity, time, mode, and progression. An overview of the goals for the volume of aerobic exercise to optimize long-term outcomes for participants in cardiac rehabilitation will be provided. Examples are provided to illustrate how to integrate the various aspects of the exercise prescription to achieve the optimal volume of aerobic exercise. 

Learning Objectives: 

1. Describe the central components of the exercise prescription in cardiac rehabilitation
2. Identify the goals for the volume of aerobic exercise for participants in cardiac rehabilitation
3. Discuss the strategies for integrating the components of the exercise prescription to achieve the optimal volume of aerobic exercise in cardiac rehabilitation
