Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Recruitment rate and retention to the intervention and study, measured using records of how many patients received the information sheet, how many subsequently consented and the attendance of those who had baseline assessments completed will be kept (PARIS recruitment log) at recruitment, consent, baseline, each weekly session, post-intervention and follow up 2. Attendance recorded via the attendance log at each weekly session 3. Participant engagement, acceptability of the intervention and receipt (fidelity) assessed with semi-structured interviews within 8 weeks of the final follow up measures 4. Intervention fidelity assessed with facilitator self-assessment tool at the end of every intervention session for one group of participants in the intervention 5. Rate of completion of outcome measures and accelerometer wear time assessed by reviewing questionnaires and accelerometer data at baseline, post-intervention and follow up 6. Sample size for a future study calculated by analysing the accelerometer data collected at baseline, post-intervention and follow up. The analysis will be conducted after follow up | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Self-reported levels of physical activity measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Long Form (IPAQ-LF) and objectively using a wrist-worn accelerometer (ActiGraph GT9X Link) at pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow up 2. Self-reported health status assessed using the SF-36 (RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.0) at pre- intervention, post-intervention and follow up 3. Body composition assessed using DEXA scan at pre-intervention and follow up | — |
