Patients and Methods: Participants with SCAD enrolled from March 2011 to November 2019 completed surveys including details regarding PA and exercise habits prior to SCAD, and PA counseling received from their provider after SCAD. Demographics and clinical characteristics were collected by electronic record review. Exercise prescribed to patients after SCAD was categorized according to exercise components: type, intensity, frequency, time\/session, and extreme environmental conditions.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> We included 950 participants; mean \u00b1 age was 46.8 \u00b1 9.5 years old at the time of first SCAD; most (96.3%) were women and (77.0%) attended \u22651 cardiac rehabilitation session. Hyperlipidemia (34.3%), hypertension (32.8%), and elevated body weight (overweight = 27.0%; obesity = 20.0%) were the most common comorbidities. Prior to SCAD, 48.5% performed aerobic exercise \u22653 times\/week, and only 32.0% performed strength-building exercise regularly. PA counseling details after SCAD in 299\/950 participants showed that most (93.3%) patients received some form of counseling including exercise prescription (EXP), non-specific recommendations, and discouraged from any exercise. Limits regarding exercise type and intensity were the most common advice among participants who received EXP.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Insights from our study suggest that only 48% of the patients performed some aerobic exercise three or more times per week, and 32.0% performed strength-building exercises, which suggest that most of them may not be as active as assumed. Furthermore, 70% of the SCAD patients have \u22651 cardiovascular risk factors. We suggest guiding patients based on individual assessment, taking into consideration baseline PA habits, treatment, and risk factors. SCAD-tailored PA guidelines are needed for optimal EXP without compromising patient safety.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2021.642739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,15]],"date-time":"2021-06-15T13:22:16Z","timestamp":1623763336000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Physical
