Objectively measured physical activity in patients with heart failure: a sub-analysis from the HF-Wii study.

Clinicians should encourage their patients to engage in alternative approaches to improve PA and reduce sedentary habits. Future exergaming interventions should target individuals with chronic HF who have low social motivation and a low level of light PA that may benefit most from exergaming. Also (non-familial), intergenerational interaction is important to enabling patients in supporting patients in becoming more active.
