SD standard deviation
aThe participants had no stepping bouts longer than 10 uninterrupted minutes on both control and intervention weeks. Therefore, the means and differences were not presented for these bouts lengths, as it would be all zero.
All variables were obtained with ActivPAL except for Actigraph breaks, which were obtained with Actigraph GT3X+
