CHRONIC DISEASES
Before the start of the intervention, all participants underwent height and weight measurements to calculate their BMI. They also completed questionnaires on general data (marital status, education, employment, income, chronic diseases, alcohol consumption, and medication use), depression symptoms over the past 2 weeks, and the amount of fun and immersion related to daily exercise. The BMI and levels of depression, exercise fun, and exercise immersion were measured in the same way at weeks 4 and 8 from the start of the intervention in all three groups.
