METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data:
In this two-arm non-randomised pilot study, 46 men (mean±SD age 46.0±8.6 years) participating in the 12-week Shape Up programme were assigned to a control group or biomarker feedback group. Biomarker feedback consisted of 3 blood test panels: at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks (follow-up), each with a doctor’s report. Both groups completed questionnaires (Short Active Lives Survey [SALS], Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire [TSRQ], and EQ-5D-5L) to gauge levels of motivation and engagement. The mean difference was calculated between baseline and programme end. Recruitment, retention, and attendance rates were determined.



2. Methods for processing the data:
SPSS and excel were both used to process the data. 
3. Instrument – or software-specific information needed to interpret the data:
Excel and SPSS
4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: N/A
5. Environmental/experimental conditions:
a. Opportunistic testing. Did cluster recruitment. All participants underwent the Shape Up Programme based in Watford. 
6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data:
a. None
7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission:
Bottoms, L., Smith, J. and Grant, D.
