Note: data are expressed as mean (SD). † A bout of sedentary behavior is defined as a period of consecutive minutes where the accelerometer register <100 counts·min−1. § Number of sedentary bouts of n min/number of sedentary bouts of 2 min. * Length of sedentary bouts of n min/length of sedentary bouts of 2 min.
