Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main endpoints are minutes of moderate- to- vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per week, assessed using an accelerometer and PA diary | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are the VO2peak and other outcomes on the CPET (like maximal heart rate (HRpeak) and maximal work rate (Wpeak), heart rate (HR), work rate (W) and oxygen uptake (VO2) at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) and the respiratory compensation point (RCP); anthropometrics; muscle strength; physical activity; Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL); fatigue; anxiety and depression symptoms, return to work (RTW) rates (%), exercise participation, the experiences of participants with the transition from supervised exercise rehabilitation to community-based exercise and the acceptability of the coaching intervention. All measurements will be performed at baseline and at six months follow-up, except for the semi-structured interview which will only take place once, during the follow-up measurement. Furthermore, patient characteristics, medical treatment, attrition to other rehabilitation modalities and exercise history will be extracted from electronic patient dossiers (EPD). | — |
