MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; CI, confidence interval.
a
Significance from mixed effects model (e.g., “a” denotes difference from 3rd Grade).
b
Significance from mixed effects model (e.g., “a” denotes difference from Male).
c
Significance from mixed effects model (e.g., “a” denotes difference from Hispanic and Racially Diverse).
d
Significance from mixed effects model (no significant difference found).
e
Significance from mixed effects model (e.g., “a” denotes difference from Yes to Youth Sport Participation).
