* Significant within-group difference from pre-test to post-test (p < 0.05). ¶ Significant between-group difference after intervention (p < 0.05). Duration, frequency, and intensity represent subjective scores of exercise duration per time, exercise frequency per week, and exercise intensity per time. TPA, total physical activity, represents product scores of exercise duration, frequency, and intensity. EC, energy consumption, represents totally objective energy consumed in physical activity in seven days. SB%, light-PA%, moderate-PA%, and vigorous-PA% represent objective percentages of time spent on sedentary behavior and light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity in seven days.
