Binder 2004	Yes	Yes	Adherence to exercise programme, measured as the percentage of 72 sessions performed	Intervention group: mean (SD) attendance (/72 sessions) = 87% (24%); mean (SD) number of exercise session per week 2.3 (0.2) Control group: control participants who completed exercise log data (n = 32, 74%).
