Daily averages for resting heart rate, step count, and minutes of intensive activity were recorded over 7\u00a0days using a fitness tracker watch. Generalized estimating equations were used for longitudinal comparisons, and recursive partitioning analysis for predicting HRQoL factors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Significant time\u2009\u00d7\u2009group interactions were observed for HRQoL, sleep quality, pain, fatigue, SPPB, and 6MWT. Although the LCG showed significant improvements across these outcomes, only the reduction in fatigue reached a clinically meaningful level, whereas the other groups remained stable. A group effect was detected for all outcomes, except for heart rate and minutes of intensive activity, with the LCG consistently showing lower scores across all follow-ups. Recursive partitioning analysis identified 2 baseline predictors of HRQoL at 6\u00a0months in the LCG: self-reported fatigue and daily step count.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
