MVPA=moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity

MVPAOBJ: MVPA (MET-min/week) in bouts of ≥10 minutes measure objectively with the SenseWear Armband.

MVPAPAFF: MVPA (MET-min/week) measured using the Paffenbarger Questionnaire

*

MVPAPAFF-TYPICAL: MVPA (MET-min/week) measured using the Paffenbarger Questionnaire that excludes 63 (14.1%) participants who reported that the past week was not typical of their physical activity.

MVPAGPAQ-TOTAL: Total MVPA (MET-min/week) measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire

MVPAGPAQ-REC: Recreational and transportation MVPA (MET-min/week) measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire
