M= mean; SE= standard error; HRQOL = health related quality of life. HRQOL numbers represent subscale scores (from 0 to 100) on the RAND 36-Item Health Survey. Participants classified as meeting requirements reported ≥10 metabolic equivalents tasks hours/week – this estimate is equivalent to participating in 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week. The physical health subscale represents the mean score for subscales of physical function, role-physical functioning, pain, and general health. Similarly, the mental health subscale represents the mean score for subscales of vitality, emotional role functioning, social function, and mental health.
