Dependent variable: leisure time activity following rehabilitation (“active”: >0 MET-min/week versus “inactive”: 0 MET-min/week); value < 0.05; ; variables not included. Barriers: activities with friends; pain; being ill; too much work; injury; TV; partner against it; difficult to organize; no sport partner. Odds ratios are adjusted for socioeconomic status variables and intervention group.
