Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following will be measured at 0 (before start), 3 (end of exercise period) and 6 months (detraining in intervention group): 1. Health related quality of life (the EQ-5D questionnaire, 15-D instrument and the 36-item Short Form health survey [SF-36]) 2. Sanitary costs (consultations, medication, health utilities, cost of program) 3. Back disorders (Roland Morris Scale) 4. Fatigue scale (FSS) 5.

Fitness (strength, flexibility, balance, 6 min walk test, body composition) | — |
