Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in physical activity | From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up. | Accelerometer on a daily basis for 7 days |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in self-reported anxiety and depression (HADS) | From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up. | Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (2 subscales): anxiety (7 items) and depression (7 items) rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 3. Total score for each subscale is the sum of each subscale's items. Higher scores indicate higher risks of anxiety and depression. |
| Change in self-reported mindfulness skills (FFMQ) | From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up. | Five-Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (5 subscales): observing, describing, non-judging, non-reacting, acting with awareness. Each subscale is composed of 3 items rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 5. Total score for each subscale is the sum of each subscale's items. Total mindfulness score is the sum of all subscales' scores. Higher scores indicate higher mindfulness skills. |
| Change in self-reported motivational regulation toward exercise (BREQ) | From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up. | Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (6 subscales): amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, integrated regulation, identified regulation, intrinsic regulation. Each subscale is composed of 3 items rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 7. Total score for each subscale is the mean of each subscale's items. Higher scores indicate higher motivational regulation. |
| Change in self-reported beliefs toward physical activity (TPB). | From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up. | Theory of Planned Behavior constructs (4 concepts): attitudes (5 items), subjective norm (4 items), perceived behavioral control (2 items), intentions (3 items). All items are rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 7. Total score for each subscale is the mean of each subscale's items. Higher scores indicate higher beliefs toward physical activity/ |
