Data is from 46 men completing 12 months follow-up. *Mean difference between baseline and 12 months with 95% confidence intervals. £Exercise behaviour measured by the Godin questionnaire, $Quality of life measured by the EQ5D questionnaire. Submaximal fitness was measured by Bruce treadmill protocol, data is from 42 complete cases over the four trial assessments.
