a

Between-person comparisons were assessed using multivariable linear mixed-effects regression models. All models are adjusted for age, gender, and daily monitor wear hours and account for repeated days of observation within children and clustering of children within schools.

b

The Before School period was defined as 12:00 am to (but not including) school start time. School start times were 8:15 am at 1 school, 8:45 am at 3 schools, and 9:20 am at 3 schools.

c

The During School period was defined as school start time to (but not including) school end time. School hours were 8:45 am to 2:45 pm at 3 schools, 9:20 am to 3:15 pm at 3 schools, and 8:15 am to 2:45 pm at 1 school.

d

Adjusted means represent mean activity levels for a child wearing the monitor for the mean daily wear time.

e

Boldface indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05).

f

Total PA minutes include minutes engaged in light, moderate, or vigorous activity.
