Physiotherapist Led Group-exercise Compared Physical Activity on Prescription, a 3 Months Follow-up

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.
