Mean daily time (min/d) spent on different activity levels. For MAD and Polar Active; (SET 1) ST: ≤1.5 METs, LPA: 1.51–2.99 METs, MPA: 3–5.99 METs, and VPA: ≥ 6 METs; and (SET 2) ST: <2 METs, LPA: 2–3.49 METs, MPA: 3.5–4.99 METs, and VPA: ≥5 METs. For Actigraph counts: ST ≤100 counts/min, LPA 101–1951 counts/min, MPA 1952–5724 counts/min, and VPA ≥ 5725 counts/min. The significant difference (P < 0.001, repeated measures ANOVA) between all measurement methods was found in all activity level except in MPA with the threshold 3.5–4.99 METs (P = 0.170). ST, sedentary time; LPA, light physical activity; MPA, moderate physical activity; VPA, vigorous physical activity.
