PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: After 4 months trial period

Population: We got 86 patients during the study period, got consent \& done block randomised allocation into 2 arms.So sample size in one arm=43 each

Occupational PA,House hold PA and transportation PA are calculated.They are added together and divided with number of days involved to calculate total physical activity in calory/day.Log transformation of data done.Higher value means better effectiveness of BCC.minimum 150 and maximum 374

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at the end of 4 months-October

Population: physical activity measured under house hold, transportational ,leisure time and occupational domains.

After intervention, total physical activity in calories/day calculated by adding domains.Total PA=house hold physical activity+transportation PA+occupational PA+leisure time PA.Physical activity measured in minutes and then converted into metabolic equivalent task- score (MET score) using a "standardised" PA questionnaire for moderate \& heavy physical activity for 1 week and calculated average for one day by dividing with number of active days.Sedentary activity measure two MET, light PA=3.5 MET.moderate PA= 4 to 6.5 MET are measured under four domains of PA and is converted into caloric expenditure using formula 0.0175 Kcal x MET of specific activity x body Weight. METS of specific activity is given by Compendium of physical activities- minimum zero calories and maximum 374.81 calories.Higher score means better outcome, better physically active due to effectiveness of intervention

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At the end of 4 months

Population: Fasting blood of each patient was taken at the beginning \&at the end of study and HbA1C was estimated in intervention and control group

Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c)serves as the gold standard for monitoring long-term blood glucose level control, guiding therapeutic decisions, and predicting a person's risk for serious diabetes-related health problems.Physical activity will reduce insulin resistance and maintain a good glycemic control .t test done to compare HbA1C of intervention and control group after the intervention period. gram percentage of HbA1C compared. Minimum value=4.5 gram%.maximum value=7.2and higher scores mean worse outcome indicating poor glycemic control and physical inactivity

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: after 4 months

Population: number of participants analysed are same as participants assigned 43 in intervention and 43 in control groups measure type is number of participants in pre contemplation and action stage.

Assessment of stage of behavioral change (SOC) by interview(Trans theoretical model) using questionnaire.Recorded participant's motivation level on a 0 to 10 scale . * score 0-3 Precontemplation - not thinking about change(stage 1) * 4-6 =Contemplation stage thinking about change(stage 2) * 7= Preparation- doing some physical activity(stage 3) * 7 =Action - doing enough physical activity(stage 4) Minimum is stage 1 and maximum is stage 5. Higher stage mean better outcome.
