Godin Exercise Questionnaire *
  Baseline 17.9 (8.8,26.9) 11.4 (4.2,18.6) 1.3 (−12.2, 14.8) 26.8 (11.0, 42.5) 20.8 (12.4, 29.3) 10.8 (−3.6, 25.1)

  Follow-up 0.4 (0.1, 0.7) 0.8 (0.2, 1.4) - -

For acceptability, follow-up, and difference scores, N=8 for patients in the intervention group as one patient was lost to follow-up.

This is the difference of Intervention versus Control on change score (follow-up minus baseline on study measures) where positive difference means indicate Intervention group improved more on measure than Control group.
