Note: WP = within-person, BP = between-person, MVPA = moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, LPA = light physical activity, n.s. = no significant association, + = significant positive association, - = significant negative association.

Only included occasions when non-zero MVPA minutes were spent within the corresponding time window.
