Data are presented as mean (SD) or n (%). One way ANOVA for continuous variables and chi-square test for categorical variable were performed

Cut-off values of quartile range for each physical activity domain are employed from mean cut-off values of multiply imputed datasets (M = 100)

Participants with missing values in each physical activity domain were not listed in each quartile group
