a1 Significance from mixed effects model (e.g., ‘a’ denotes difference from 3rd grade)
b2 Significance from mixed effects model (e.g., ‘a’ denotes difference from female)
c3 Significance from mixed effects model (no significant differences found)
d4 Significance from mixed effects model (e.g., ‘a’ denotes difference from yes to youth sport participation)
