  1. LPA light physical activity, MPA moderate physical activity, VPA vigorous physical activity, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Table presents mean change over time or mean difference between groups (M) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) as estimated by mixed models adjusting for baseline values of the outcome, age (years), gender (male/female), time since diagnosis (months) and number of medications currently taken (0/1/≥2). Bold text indicates changes that were significant at p < 0.05
