This is a selection of comparisons showing the differences in mood for different exercise frequency levels during the pandemic when compared to maintaining the same prepandemic exercise level (for all pairwise post-hoc tests see Supplementary Table 4). p value adjustment: Holm method; Exercise levels: 0 = “Never”; 1 = “1 day or less”; 2 = “2–3 days”; 3 = “4–5 days”; 4 = “Almost every day.”
