  1. 1One participant in the intervention group withdrew prior to follow-up. 2Values > 0 favour intervention, except for PPAQ: Sedentary activity where values < 0 favour intervention.3 Three participants at baseline and two at follow-up indicated that they had done something else for exercise but did not indicate what this exercise was. It is assumed that the unspecified exercises undertaken had a moderate intensity (MET value = 4.45). Sensitivity analysis performed assuming that these exercises were of low intensity (MET value = 2.9) and vigorous intensity (MET value = 6) gave very similar results to those presented here. 4Work domain (questions 33–37 only answered by those in work at the time of completion) are excluded here
