SBPAAT: Spanish version of the Brief Physical Activity Assessment Tool; 7DPAR: 7-day Physical Activity Recall; CI 95%: Confidence Interval 95%

1Insufficiently active: Individuals who do not report three or more 20 minute sessions of vigorous intensity PA a week; five or more 30 minute sessions of moderate intensity physical activity (including walking) a week; or five or more sessions of any combination of moderate and vigorous intensity PA.

2Sufficiently active: Individuals who report three or more 20 minute sessions of vigorous intensity PA a week; five or more 30 minute sessions of moderate intensity physical activity (including walking) a week; or five or more sessions of any combination of moderate and vigorous intensity PA.

aInsufficiently active: Individuals not doing at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, five days a week, or at least 20 minutes of vigorous activity, 3 days a week.

bSufficiently active: Those individuals doing at least 30 minutes of moderate activity, five days a week, or at least 20 minutes of vigorous activity, 3 days a week.
