2) Wilcoxon rank-sum test, two-sided
3) Based on maximum of mother and father; 1 if university entrance or higher, 0 otherwise.
4) Based on sex- and age-specific percentiles in[22]; expected percentages would be 10% underweight, 7% overweight, and 3% obese.
5) Activity levels as described in [24]. MVPA is moderate or vigorous.
6) 9 participants (1.4%) had sport every day and are thus excluded from these summary statistics
