KardioPAC Mobile App to Improve Physical Fitness Among Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of this study is to sustain regular physical activity, improve health-related quality of life, improve resting blood pressure, improve anthropometrics, and improve adherence to prescribed cardiac rehabilitation sessions among individuals referred for cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Numerous studies show that CR improves clinical outcomes in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Exercise as a reliable adjunctive intervention, however, remains limited due to poor short- and long-term adherence. This proposed study will examine the effectiveness of the Kura Care KardioPac digital application plus CR to significantly sustain exercise adherence among CR patients, as compared to standard of care alone.

Primary Care Referrals to a Remotely Delivered Physical Activity Intervention for Latina Teens: Chicas Fuertes 2
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
This study will test a physical activity intervention for Latina teenagers. Investigators will recruit 200 Latina adolescents who are currently under-active to participate in this 12-month study. Participants will be referred to the study by their primary care provider. Half of the participants will be randomly selected for the Intervention group, and will receive an individual counseling session and access to a personalized website. These participants will also receive a Fitbit activity tracker to help with goal setting and monitoring, plus weekly text messages and access to the study Instagram account to remind participants to be physically active. Those assigned to the control group will receive the Fitbit activity tracker.

TROLLEY Study - TRansit Opportunities for HeaLth, Livability, Exercise and EquitY
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The researchers are evaluating longitudinal changes in multiple health, economic, and environmental outcomes over a 3-year COVID recovery period and in the context of a new light rail transit (LRT) line, called the Mid-Coast Trolley, among 465 UC San Diego (UCSD) staff. The primary aim is to evaluate change in objectively measured total and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), travel mode, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
