BMI, body mass index; MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity.
*
Cardiorespiratory fitness data are based on cardiorespiratory tests meeting two of the following test criteria: respiratory exchange ratio (RER) ≥1.10, rate of perceived exertion (RPE) ≥18, and a VO2 plateau (EX, n = 18; CON, n = 8).
