This randomized controlled trial compared the effects of home-based exercise, with or without cognitive training, on cognition and physical function in individuals aged 50 years and older with stable CVD during the COVID-19 pandemic. 122 patients (67. 3 +/- 7. 9 years, 71% men) with stable CVD (77% coronary heart disease) were randomly assigned (1:1) to (1) Home-based physical exercise alone, or (2) Home-based physical exercise combined with cognitive training. Cognition (executive functions (primary outcome), processing speed, episodic memory, and working memory) and physical functions were assessed remotely at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Adjusted mean changes from baseline to 3 months and 6 months for executive functions, episodic memory, working memory, sit-to-stand test, gait speed, and timed up-and-go test were significant in the overall sample (p
