Note. % BF = percentage of body fat. Non-school MVPA = mean daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity after 3PM on weekdays and mean daily weekend physical activity (all day). Non-school total PA = mean daily total physical activity after 3 PM on weekdays and mean daily weekend physical activity (all day). Index response categories = (1) disagree a lot; (2) disagree a little; (3) neither agree or disagree; (4) agree a little; (5) agree a lot.
