Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of the study design that is key to the success of a large-scale study. The feasibility factors of the study design are measured by reasons for exclusion, recruitment rate, reasons for dropouts, patients’ satisfaction, intensity of the training method, missing data, estimated sample size. The feasibility factors will be measured during the whole study time and are assessed by descriptive statistics, questionnaires and interviews. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome is a comparison between the effects of a smartphone app guided outdoor interval walking-training and a continuous aerobic walking-training in terms of anthropometric measurements (WtHR, weight), aerobic capacity (6-MWT) and improvements in quality of life (SF-36) in patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. These measurements will take place at baseline and after 4 weeks of training. | — |
