Values are shown as mean (standard deviation); MVPA: Moderate to vigorous physical activity. 1 Long-bout MVPA is defined as ≥10 consecutive min with intensity of 3 METs or higher, without allowance for any interruptions. 2 Long-bout MVPA is defined as ≥10 consecutive min with intensity of 3 METs or higher, with allowance for interruptions of ≥2 min below threshold.
