Changes in objectively measures physical activity |
The physical activity level of participants is measured over a 7 day period with the accelerometer Actigraph GT3X+. The Actigraph GT3X+ measures acceleration on three axes. Steps per day, physical activity per day (activity counts) and time in moderate and vigorous physical activity per day will be calculated. |

Changes in subjectively measured physical activity: BSA-Questionnaire |
The questionnaire asks for physical activities during a typical week. It differentiates between leisure-time/transportation activities (physical activity score) and sport-/exercise-related activities (sports score). Participants are required to report frequency and duration of activities executed during the last two weeks. Minutes of leisure-time physical activity per week and sport-/exercise related activity per week are calculated to get the physical activity and the sports score. Both scores can combined in order to receive the overall volume of physical activity completed during leisure-time and transportation as well as sport-/exercise-related activities. |

Allgemeine Depressionsskala (ADS-L) |
German version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, 20 item questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Answers are scored from 0 to 3. The scores for all items are added up to receive the total score. The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with higher scores representing higher levels of depression. |

Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 |
12-item questionnaire measuring self reported walking ability. Each item is answered on a 5-point Likert scale. Answers are scored from 1 to 5. The scores for all items are added up to receive a total score. The total score ranges from 12 to 60 with higher scores representing higher levels of depression. As a last step the total score is transformed into the walk12-score ranging from 0 to 100 ((total score -12)/48 x 100 = walk12-score). |

Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29) |
An disease-specific questionnaire that measures quality of life and limitations due tu multiple sclerosis on two subscales (physical impact of MS, 20 items; psychological impact of MS, 9 items).Scores for both scales are generated by summing individual item scores and transforming the sum to a 0-100 scale. Higher scores represent worse health. |

Selbstkonkordanz-Skala (SSK-Scale) |
The SSK-Scale measures self-rated physical activity-related and sports-related self-concordance. It contains 12 items which are assigned to 4 subscales: intrinsic, identified, introjected and extrinsic Motivation. An overall score can be calculated based on these four subscales (minimal score = -10, maximal Score = +10). To receive the overall score the scores of the subscales for introjected and extrinsic motivation will be subtracted from the sum of the identified and intrinsic motivation subscales. A high total score suggest a high level of physical activity-related and sports-related self-concordance. |
