Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To examine determinants of physical behaviour, physical behaviour will be determined objectively and self-reported (accelerometry-based activity monitoring and electronic diary). As possible determinants the following outcomes will be assessed (questionnaires, semi-structured interview): fatigue (2 outcomes), sleep quality, activities, participation, health-related quality of life, social support, anxiety (2 outcomes), illness perception, depression, coping style, motivation (2 outcomes), self-efficacy and health condition (3 outcomes). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary, preferences of patients for therapy to reduce fatigue will be explored regarding time investment, location, type, frequency and duration of therapy (semi-structured interview). In addition, physical fitness in terms of cardiorespiratory fitness (cardiopulmonary exercise test) and muscle strength (muscle strength test) will be assessed. | — |
