Stockings of Cambridge
Spatial Working Memory
Stop Signal Task
Intra-Extra Dimensional Set-Shift
Choice Reaction Time

Physical Activity. The Actical Z (Philips Respironics) will be used to assess activity levels of the prisoners. A suitable method of data analysis will be chosen at a later time, as new (improved) validated regression models are occasionally published (e.g. Crouter et al., 2008 & 2011).
Secondary outcome
The following questionnaires are used as secondary outcome measures:
SCL-90-R

WAIS (subtests Information and Block Design)
IPAQ
