AQASR Document: The copy of AQASR that I sent by email had a technical problem that has been corrected. Please delete that version (AQASR_12-31-13.docx) and download the revised version here: https://ktdrr.org/aqasr. In the revised version you will be able to click on the words highlighted in yellow and it will go to the entry for that word in the Glossary. (This feature is not working in the previous version, instead, it will take you to the AQASR web page.)

Ruivo systematic review: If you need a copy, this document is available from the Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation & Prevention: http://journals.lww.com/jcrjournal/Fulltext/2014/01000/Exergames_and_Cardiac_Rehabilitation__A_REVIEW.2.aspx
