Comprehensive behavioural and motivational support will be provided to reduce anxiety related to exercise participation and to improve adherence and compliance to the programme. Every week, for 6 weeks, before or after a supervised on-line exercise session, participants (in the same groups formed for the exercise sessions) will join a 1-h on-line group behavioural and motivational support session facilitated by a trained PULSE practitioner. Practitioners will be supported by debrief sessions with the trial Health Psychologist. Whilst the content of these sessions has not changed, the media were adapted to be suitable for on-line delivery by including discussion questions and PowerPoint slide prompts along with an interactive participant workbook.
