All results were adjusted for age and sex. Physical literacy assessment results presented as raw scores. p-values represent the results of the mixed models conducted to assess differences in physical literacy measurements (PLAYfun, PLAYself and PLAYparent) between programs that scored in the top 10% and the bottom 10% on the PLEA Tool; PL: physical literacy
