Model 1: association between physical activity parameters and various relevant explanatory variables; Model 2: model 1 plus inclusion of cardiac diagnosis. BMI indicates body mass index; DV, dependent variable; MVPA, moderate‐to‐vigorous PA; PA, physical activity; ref, reference.

a

ActiGraph accelerometry (GT3X+ or GT9X; 15‐second epoch), based on ≥3 days with ≥600 minutes valid wear time.

b

Total PA: sum of axis 1 (or vertical axis) counts/day.

c

P<0.05.

d

P<0.01.

e

P<0.001.

f

BMI (kg/m2) z scores calculated based on age–sex‐specific World Health Organization 2007 reference charts.22

g

MVPA: mean daily minutes of MVPA (≥2296 counts/min).26

h

Vigorous PA (≥4012 counts/min).26

i

Sedentary time (%): mean sedentary minutes (<100 counts/min) expressed as a percentage relative to valid monitor wear time.
