All models were adjusted with time effect; participants with less than 28.6% (median) or the median for adherence were excluded from the per-protocol analysis. All outcomes were measured at five time points (once in 4 weeks).
ITT, intention-to-treat; LPA, low physical activity; MVPA, moderate-vigorous physical activity; RDQ, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire; WLQ, Work Limitations Questionnaire.
