Table 2.

Daily accelerometer estimates across valid wear days overall and by intervention group (N=215).

aAccelerometer estimates were defined as follows: sedentary activity was defined as less than 100 counts per minute, active time was defined as 100 or more counts per minute, light-intensity activity was defined as 100-759 counts per minute, and moderate lifestyle intensity activity was defined as 760-1951 counts per minute. An inactive-active transition (ie, sedentary break) was defined as a transition from less than 100 counts to 100 or more counts/minute.

b Sample size slightly reduced (N=210) because 5 participants had no reports of sitting during random mobile phone assessments.
