Note: MVPA= accelerometry-estimated physical activity; SBP=systolic blood pressure; DBP=diastolic blood pressure; BMI=body mass index; SE=standard error; DF=degrees of freedom; LCL=lower confidence limit; UCL=upper confidence limit; Mediated indirect (αβ) and direct (τ’) effects not shown; all effects were non-significant with r2<.001.

* = p < .05, ** = p < .01

aValues of r2 are based on semi-partial correlations and thus represent the amount of variance in an outcome accounted for by a predictor, exclusive of overlap with other predictors.
