Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is the change in physical activity from baseline (T0) to T1 (after 12 weeks) assessed via a questionnaire (IPAQ) and accelerometers. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in functional, cognitive and mental health and other relevant parameters that are associated with PA will be assessed at T0 and T1. These include physical fitness (e.g., SPPB, 2-minute step test), quality of life (SF-12), self-efficacy (HAPA), motivation (SESSA), body satisfaction (PSDQ), depressive symptoms (CES-D), and fear of falling (EFST, GFFM) which will be assessed via questionnaires, online-tests and motoric tests. | — |
