Results of multilevel mixed-effects linear regression analyses (one model per movement behavior, per comparison). Models adjusted for nesting of observations within participants, within families, within study waves. Bold values indicate p < .05. Christmas-New Year: pre = 7 days prior to December 25, during = December 25 to January 1, post = 7 days post January 1. Daylight saving time (DST) end: clocks shifted backward 1 hour on April 5, 2020 and April 4, 2021, pre = 7 days prior to transition, post = 7 days post. DST start: clocks shifted backward 1 hour on October 4, 2020 and October 3, 2021, pre = 7 days prior, post = 7 days post.

Cons constant; LPA light physical activity; MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
