Table 1. Criteria for collating activities captured by the MARCA into four energy expenditure bands by activity intensity (Model 1), or nine common ‘superdomains’ by activity type (Model 2).

Criteria for grouping by activity intensity: Model 1
	Energy expenditure bands	Activity intensity requirement
1	MVPA	≥3 METs
2	LPA	1.6–2.9 METs
3	SB	≤1.5 METs
4	Sleep	Based on self-report sleep and wake times
Criteria for grouping by activity type: Model 2
	‘Superdomain’	Activity types categorised into ‘superdomain’
1	Physical activity	Sports/exercise
		Active transport
2	Chores	Indoor chores
		Outdoor chores
3	Self-care	Grooming/bathing
		Eating
4	Socio-cultural	Socialising
		Communicating
		Religious
		Other cultural
5	Transport	Passive transport (car, public transport)
6	Work/study	Occupational, non-screen
7	Screen time	Television
		Computer use
8	Quiet time	Reading
		Non-reading
9	Sleep

Key: LPA, light intensity physical activity; MET, metabolic equivalent of task where 1 MET is equivalent to around 3.5 ml of oxygen consumed per kg of body mass per minute; MVPA, moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity; SB, sedentary behaviour
