LPA; latent profile analysis, T2; wave two, T3; wave three, MVPA; moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity.
*
Values presented are estimated mean standard scores of behavioural variables for each latent profile (values > or < ±0·2 were used to identify behaviours that are high or low, respectively).
