MET denotes 1 kcal × kg body weight−1 × h−1.
MVPA denotes moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, that is, activities with an MET ≥3. Total MVPA is the sum of in-school and out-of-school MVPA and active commuting to school.
Comparison between control group and intervention group in each variable at baseline is not significant.
Data were adjusted for age, gender and body mass index at baseline.
Comparison between intervention and control groups was adjusted for age, gender, body mass index at baseline, interaction between measurement time and groups, and cluster effect in randomisation pair, school and class level, within-subject correlation using PROC GLIMMIX procedure in SAS V.9.2.
