Subject details pre-intervention for the three arms of the study.

	Group	Pedometer	Active Controls
Subjects [n]	148	251	135
Age at enrolment mean [± SD] yr	36.6 [± 12.5]*	40.1 [± 12.6]	39.1 [± 12.0]
Males n [%]	42 [28.4%]	57 [22.7%]	39 [28.9%]
Total PA [min/wk] weighted median [mean ± SD]	60 [71 ± 46]	70 [71 ± 47]	600 [706 ± 439]#
Total PA [min/wk] unweighted median [mean ± SD]	60 [65 ± 42]	60 [65 ± 43]	405 [477 ± 270]#

PA = physical activity; weighted PA calculated by multiplying vigorous-intensity minutes × 2 [24]

SD = standard deviation

* = significantly lower than pedometer subjects (p < 0.05)

# = significantly greater than intervention subjects (p < 0.05).
