Although the majority of studies on home-and center-based CR programs report data on changes in exercise capacity measured at baseline and on completion of the intervention limited information is available on the short-term progression in exercise capacity throughout the CR [20] [21] [22] . A one-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to determine whether there were statistically significant differences in mean 6MWT distance (6MWD) over the period of a three-month rehabilitation program. Future studies should investigate whether similar progression patterns emerge in both center-based (including with larger patient groups) and in home-based CR programs and whether this short-term information on progression can be used to optimize outcomes by improving exercise capacity and motivation. ./cache/cord-013457-rqon1adg.txt ./txt/cord-013457-rqon1adg.txt
