Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Patients will be recruited for this observational study pre-operatively (where able) or within 24 hours following open heart surgery. Physical activity levels of cardiac surgery patients will be measured via the use of a tri-axial acceleromter (ActiGraph) for 7 days post-operatively. Routine hospital level data (such as demographics, operative and post-operative data including physiotherapy interventions and discharge information) will be collected from electonric medical records. Aside from the fitting of the ActiGraph device to the patient's thigh, this study will not involve any deviation from usual care.

Statistical methods / analysis
In line with feasibility study guidelines outlined by Teresi et al. (2022), a 2-month recruitment timeframe was selected as a practical length of time with minimal interference with patient flow. We anticipate that in this timeframe there will be 70-100 eligible participants, which we deem to be sufficient to reasonably evaluate our feasibility outcomes.

Continuous variables will be summarised using mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range) according to data type and distribution. Categorical variables will be reported as counts and proportions.
