Numbers (for recreation, outdoor garden, and self-reported estimate of OT heat exposure) denote hours per week. Weekly estimation of physical activity is given in METS with the equivalent intensity of physical activity participants were estimated to partake in. *Quarterly exposure denotes actual hours each participant worked in a hot OT over three-months.
