Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) can reduce mortality and improve physical functioning in older patients, but current programs do not support the needs of older patients with comorbidities or frailty, for example due to transport problems and physical limitations. Home-exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation …

Recent studies on urban policy responses to increasing tourism have moved beyond the physical impact of tourism to also include the way tourism is framed by social movements.
