aVIF: variance inflation factor.

bOnly participants who completed at least one intervention component were included in this analysis.

cOR: odds ratio.

dCI: confidence interval.

eLinear regression coefficient indicates the effect of this variable on satisfaction after correction for the other variables in the model.

fCOPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

gMET: metabolic equivalent task.
