Adherence, Compliance, and Health Risk Factor Changes following Short-Term Physical Activity Interventions

Figure 1

Flow of participants with compliance and adherence percentages for the different study arms and for randomised (R) versus nonrandomised (NR) participants. Compliance was calculated as the proportion of (1) total intervention days the participants achieved the prescribed daily activity targets and (2) participants sufficiently active at postintervention. Adherence was calculated as the proportion of participants remaining in the program at each stage shown.
