Design of the research project including all measurement time points of the process evaluation. Follow-up = 12 months after intervention start; Inter-1 = supervised ImPuls phase (weeks 1–4); Inter-2 = partially supervised ImPuls phase 1 (weeks 5–12); Inter-3 = partially supervised ImPuls phase 2 (weeks 13–24); Post = end of the intervention (week 24); Post-d = end of study period in the outpatient facility; Pre = prior to intervention start in the outpatient facility; Prep-1 = following the first training; Prep-2 = following the second training; Rando = after randomization, prior to intervention start in the outpatient facility. TAU (treatment as usual) is assessed only at pre, post, and follow-up. Assessments during inter 1 (weeks 1–4), inter 2 (weeks 5–12), and inter 3 (weeks 13–24) concern only exercise therapists and patients. Assessment frequency within inter-assessments punctually differs between participants (see Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4)
