group1

Usual Physiotherapy, additional: "Prescription for Activity" with a structured fitness program and individual instructions to become more active in the daily living situation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

"Prescription for Activity" and individual instructions

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Structured education. "Prescription for Activity". This contains an exercise programme which consists of a 30 minutes muscle strengthening exercises to be performed at home at least three times per week and an endurance sports, chosen by the patient, to be performed at least 2 times per week.

group 2

usual Physiotherapy , additional: "Prescription for Activity" without instructions

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

"Prescription for Activity", without instructions

Intervention Type OTHER

Prescription with exercise programme. "Prescription for activity". This contains an exercise program consisting of 30 minutes of muscle strengthening exercises to be performed at home at least three times per week, the patient also needs to perform in an endurance sport at least two times per week.

group 3

control, usual physiotherapy
