Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the effect of exercise or PAP prescription 3 months after completion of the study "Should elderly patients with atrial fibrillation be offered physiotherapist group exercise or can physical activity on prescription (PAP) be used as an alternative?" regarding level of physical fitness, physical activity, heart rate and health related quality of life (HR-QoL). Also if any of the investigated variables can predict the possible change in physical fitness.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients who have completed study will be offered a follow-up after 3 months regarding physical fitness, physical activity, heart rate and HR-QoL. Physical fitness will be measured by a symptom limited bicycle test and a muscle endurance test. Physical activity will be measured by accelerometer and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and a physical activity diary, HR-QoL will be measured by short form (SF-36).
