a
Below Guidelines (31) is <150 moderate to vigorous physical activity min/week; Meets Guidelines = 150–299 moderate to vigorous physical activity min/wk; Exceeds Guidelines is ≥300 moderate to vigorous physical activity min/wk. Vigorous minutes were multiplied by 2 and added to moderate minutes to get weekly minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Guidelines category assignments are based on participant average weekly reported activity.
b
Based on sum of 3 skinfolds equation (19).
