Differences between control and intervention group after 12 months are tested through linear of logistic regression analyses, controlled for baseline values and baseline BMI. N = sample size; SD = standard deviation; β/OR = beta or Odds ratio as effect indicators from linear or logistic regression analyses; 95% CI = 95% confidence interval as effect indicator from linear or logistic regression analyses; Significant differences between control and intervention group (P<0.05) printed in bold font.

2

MVPA = Physical activity with moderate to vigorous intensity; means are geometric means;

3

Log-linear regression was conducted;

4

Assessed with the MARS-5 questionnaire, a score = 25 is defined as compliant, < = 24 is defined as noncompliant.

Since no major differences were found between intention-to-treat analysis and complete case analysis, only the results of the complete case analysis are presented.
