a MVPA refers to moderate to vigorous physical activity, indicating minutes in which the accelerometer registered ≥1065 cpm

b LPA refers to light intensity physical activity, indicating minutes in which the accelerometer registered 50–1064 cpm

c STA refers to stationary time, indicating minutes in which the accelerometer registered < 50 cpm

d Denotes the proportion of total accelerometer wear time spent in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity

e Denotes the proportion of total accelerometer wear time spent in light intensity physical activity

f Denotes the proportion of total accelerometer wear time spent in sedentary behavior
