aThe physical activity score ranged between 0 and 18.9, and the cutoff for being sufficiently physically active was 5. No patients were categorized as sufficiently physically active at baseline according to inclusion criteria.

bχ2 2 = 3.99 (P = .14), patient-initiated versus staff-referred for categories 0, 1-2 and 3-4 at baseline

cχ2 2 = 1.63 (P = .65), patient-initiated versus staff-referred for categories 0, 1-2, 3-4 and ≥ 5 at follow-up
