	• SF-36	Increased overall weekly caloric expenditure
	• 6MWT	Increased weekly frequency of all exercise-related activities
		Increased moderate-intensity exercise-related activities
		Increased vitality score
Sawchuk et al. (2011)	• CHAMPS	• Single-sample within-group paired comparison:
	• SF-36	Increased distance walking on 6MWT
	• 6MWT	Increased weekly frequency of all exercise-related activities
	• Step counts (pedometer, average steps per day)	Increased moderate-intensity exercise-related activities
		• Between-group comparison (experimental group and active control group):
		Improved mental health score
