Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Women self-reported physical activity, measured using Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (SQUASH). Women were also given a pedometer (StepsCount, Ontario, Canada) to wear each day from time awakening until bedtime except for during water activities and showering/bathing. A logbook was also provided to keep track of daily steps. Average number of steps per week was computed. Data were collected for both measures (total SQUASH scores and average steps per week) at week 1 (baseline), week 6 and week 12 | — |
