*Adjusted difference ((intervention post-test mean−intervention baseline mean)−(control post-test mean−control baseline mean)) in secondary outcomes at 6 months and 12 months between treatment groups. P value adjusted for cluster effect, randomisation pair and accelerometer wear-time for physical activity outcomes.
BMI z-scores, Body mass index scores standardised to age and sex; MPA, moderate physical activity; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; VPA, vigorous physical activity.
