Motivational counselling for physical activity in patients with coronary artery disease not participating in cardiac rehabilitation

Goal setting, problem solving and feedback improve short-term adherence to physical activity in people with stable heart failure

“…Many of the interventions included strategies that are often described as motivational interviewing7 or health coaching,8 such as specific planning and goal setting .
