Accelerometer Characteristics, n = 301

Mean (SD) Minimum Maximum
Days of device wear time 5.9 (0.4) 3 11
Device wear time, h/day 23.9 (0.2) 22.7 24
Hours spent physically active (h/day) 7.0 (1.6) 3.4 11.7
 Low physical activity (n = 101) 5.2 (0.7) 3.4 6.1
 Medium physical activity (n = 100) 7.0 (0.4) 6.2 7.6
 High physical activity (n = 100) 8.7 (0.9) 7.7 11.7
Activity fragmentation, % 24.9 (5.3) 12.9 45.7
 Low fragmentation (n = 101) 19.4 (2.3) 12.9 22.5
 Medium fragmentation (n = 100) 24.5 (1.1) 22.5 26.7
 High fragmentation (n = 100) 30.8 (3.7) 26.7 45.7

Notes: Hours spent active and activity fragmentation were tertiled to determine low, medium, and high categories. Activity fragmentation was operationalized as the active-to-sedentary transition probability, calculated as the reciprocal of the average daily activity bout length for each participant (18,24).
