a
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) profile was determined by minutes per week of total weekly MVPA. Inactive participants participated in <37.5 minutes per week of MVPA. Participants with >=37.5 minutes per week of MVPA who performed >=50% of weekly MVPA in only 1 or 2 days were classified as weekend warriors, and others as regularly active.
b
MVPA was defined as >= 1952 counts per minute.
c
Activity bouts were defined as periods of at least 10 minutes with >=1952 cpm.
Values are mean (SE) or percent (SE), unless otherwise noted.
All characteristic statistics are calculated adjusted for the survey design.
