Data are mean ± SD. Actual intensity was the workload in watts (W) prescribed for each participant using the baseline anaerobic threshold test (supervised aerobic exercise), number of repetitions completed according to exercise record card completed by researcher (supervised resistance exercise), and RPE score reported by participants in exercise diaries (home-based walking). Compliant = within prescribed range; below target = lower intensity than prescribed range; above target = higher intensity than prescribed range. AT, anaerobic threshold; Reps, repetitions; RPE, rating of perceived exertion.
