| SED (min/day) | 367.99 | 167.01 | 369.55 | 152.85 | −0.19 | .85 |
p-value refers to t-tests between Waves 1 and 2.
Active PA sum of walking, moderate PA, and vigorous PA; PA physical activity; PA MET PA calculated as metabolic equivalent of task minutes per week; SD standard deviation; SED sedentary time.
