Physical Activity Measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)	Baseline, 6 weeks	The IPAQ calculates the metabolic equivalent (MET) score by asking participants the days and minutes exercised in three categories of intensity (vigorous, moderate, and walking) during the previous one week. The following formula is used to calculate the MET: MET=8(vigorous activity) (minutes) + 4 (moderate activity)(minutes) +3.3 (walking activity) (minutes).

Secondary Outcome Measures
