*

Bold indicates significant differences (p<0.05) between MVPA categories, within gender.

a

N=489 (236 boys and 253 girls) because of missing serum values

b

Low=0–30 minutes; moderate=31–89 minutes; high=≥90 minutes

c

From ANCOVA, adjusted for pubertal stage with age as covariate

DBP4, fourth-phase diastolic blood pressure; DBP5, fifth-phase diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; MPA, moderate physical activity; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; PBF, percent body fat; SBP, systolic blood pressure; VPA, vigorous physical activity
