Definitions of physical activity guidelines and activity categorizations.
| PA guideline | MVPA | MVPA bouts | M2VPA bouts | 3 ∗ 30 | 5 ∗ 30 | MET PA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sufficient | ≥150 min accumulated MVPA |
≥150 min MVPA performed in ≥10 min bouts | ≥150 min MVPA performed in ≥10 min bouts with 1 min VPA = 2 min MPA | ≥3 sessions MVPA sustained for ≥30 mins | ≥5 sessions MVPA sustained for ≥30 mins | ≥500 MET min |

| Insufficient | 1–149 min accumulated MVPA | 1–149 min MVPA performed in ≥10 min bouts | 1–149 min MVPA performed in ≥10 min bouts with 1 min VPA = 2 min MPA | 1-2 sessions MVPA sustained for ≥30 mins | 1–4 sessions MVPA sustained for ≥30 mins | 1–499 MET minutes |

| None | 0 min accumulated MVPA |
0 min MVPA performed in ≥10 min bouts | 0 min MVPA performed in ≥10 min bouts with 1 min VPA = 2 min MPA | 0 sessions MVPA sustained for ≥30 mins | 0 sessions MVPA sustained for ≥30 mins | N/A |
Sufficient activity was defined as enough activity to meet the guideline. MVPA: moderate-vigorous physical activity; M2VPA: 1 minute of vigorous physical activity is equivalent to 2 minutes of moderate activity. N/A: The “none” category is not applicable to this guideline.
