PE = physical education; SD = standard deviation.

Student t tests were used to compare mean differences in segmental steps between the low- and high-activity groups after stratification by sex.

Low- and high-activity levels were defined according to students' mean daily steps being below or above their sex-specific median values (11,200 for boys and 8900 for girls).
