Hypothetical timeline for one participant. The exact timing of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation will vary for each participant. The submaximal aerobic capacity test is completed during inpatient rehabilitation. After this point, the participant could participate in individual or open-group aerobic exercise during inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation (while waiting to be enrolled in the study intervention). The closed-group study intervention (group aerobic exercise (GAE) only or Promoting Optimal Physical Exercise for Life (PROPEL)) will likely start during outpatient rehabilitation, though some patients may start during inpatient rehabilitation. The participant will be enrolled in the study at the end of the study intervention, at which point cohort descriptors, the Short Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SSEE) scale and the Short Outcome Expectations for Exercise (SOEE) scale, will be collected. Activity monitoring will be conducted for 7 days continuously at three time points: (1) 1 month, (2) 4 months and (3) and 6 months after the end of the study intervention. The Barriers to Being Active Quiz (BBAQ) will be conducted at the 1-month postintervention time point.
