- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method evel of daily activity, as measured using independent tri-axial accelerometers. These accelerometers have been validated against energy expenditure measured using VO2-max. We will use this independent measure of activity, because:<br>A. The DirectLife activity monitor is part of the intervention therefore not independent not suitable as measure of end point;<br /><br>B. The Genea accelerometer yields more detailed data on physical activity.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Other metabolic and anthropometric parameters: weight, waist hip ratio, body fat percentage (BIA) and blood pressure will be measured at baseline and at the final visit, and blood sampling for total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, fasting insulin and HbA1c;<br /><br>2. Well being and perceived health will be assessed by RAND-36 questionnaire prior to the trial and after the trial;<br /><br>3.
