Data are presented as mean ± SD. Data for the screen condition was collected by mail-in questionnaires prior to the start of residency, including estimated daily physical activity that was determined by the Minnesota Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire. PSS, perceived stress scale; SAI, state anxiety index; CD-RISC, Connor-Davidson Resiliency Scale abbreviated; METS, metabolic equivalents. As described in the Methods, reference values are published means from similar populations where available.
