*Sedentary times were defined as the time of sitting down with waking state, such as attending classes, reading, playing computer, etc. Low intensity activities were defined as those with energy consumption less than 3.0. Metabolic Equivalents (METs) including walking, general housework, mild stretching exercise, etc. Moderate intensity activities were defined as those with energy consumption range from 3.0 to 6.0 METs including TCC, brisk walking, jogging, cycling, stretching exercise, etc. High intensity activities were defined as those with energy consumption over 6.0 METs including running, playing ball games, mountaineering, etc.
