*Based on the formula (((n1*0.5)+(n2)+(n3*1.2))/12) * 100; n1=number of weeks in which participant attends once only; n2=number of weeks in which participant attends twice; n3=number of weeks in which participant attends three or more times. *Engagement;.based on a recommended attendance of twice weekly, a formula was used to calculate a percentage for ‘12-week engagement’, which took into account both frequency and consistency of attendance (see the Methods section).
