Table 1 presents descriptive statistics for demographic variables, both overall and by condition.
aModerate-vigorous-intensity exercise minutes were computed by adding reported moderate intensity minutes and 2× reported vigorous-intensity minutes, c.f. [3].
bSeven individuals reported more minutes of moderate-vigorous-intensity exercise at the baseline session than they did in the screening measure for the study, where eligibility criteria for the baseline visit included that potential participants were participating in ≤150 min of moderate-vigorous-intensity exercise per week. These participants are still included in all analyses.
