Model 1 is the crude analysis, where the intervention effect is controlled for baseline physical activity. For the intervention variable, the control group is the reference category). Model 2 is the adjusted analysis, where the effect of the intervention is corrected for sex (boy is the reference category), BMI, age and recess time. * P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
