PA, Physical activity. a POMS, Profile of Mood States. Component scores range from 0 to 3. A higher score indicates greater mood disturbance. b PSQI, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Higher scores reflect greater sleep disturbance. c Meeting World Health Organization physical activity (WHO PA) guidelines: accumulating 150 min/week of moderate physical activity, 75 min/week of vigorous physical activity, or equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous physical activity.
