#All models adjusted for baseline values

*Not enough data for vigorous activity for participants unaffected by COVID

There were data from 45 participants at the 6-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 81 women

††There were data from 40 participants at the 12-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 81 women

§There were data from 34 participants at the 6-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 60 women unaffected by COVID

§§There were data from 36 participants at the 12-month time point, but for the purposes of analysis, the model predicted data for all 60 women unaffected by COVID
