Wald test is used to test for any association between green space and physical activity; a ‘high cut off’ is defined as five or more sessions of the stated activity per week of at least 30 min duration of MVPA; a ‘low cut off’ is defined as doing some sessions of the stated activity of at least 30 min duration of MVPA; individual and environmental variables are detailed in model 3 (Table 2).
