Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Feasibility as measured by rate of recruitment
The rate of recruitment will be measured by comparing the number of patients screended to the number of patients recruited. This will allow us to asses if a future full-scale trial is feasible.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Feasibility as measured by Intervention adherence
Intervention adherence will be assessed using an exercise log book and heart rate monitor to objectively record independent exercise behaviour and support adherence and compliance.
