Associations between PA (in both methods of measurement) and LVEF, and PA and LV mass

Clinical cardiac parameter	PA measurement method	Model
		Unadjusted			Limited adjustment			Full adjustment
		Effect estimate	95% CI	P value	Effect estimate	95% CI	P value	Effect estimate	95% CI	P value

Effect estimate reflects an LVEF (in %) or LV mass (in g/m²) change per IQR of either total MET-min/week or 7-day average acceleration.

Effect estimate reflects an LVEF (in %) or LV mass (in g/m²) change per IQR of either total MET-min/week or 7- day average acceleration.

LV, left ventricular; LVEF, LV ejection fraction; MET, metabolic equivalent of task; PA, physical activity.
