aCVD: cardiovascular disease.

bP values reported are for paired t tests using pooled multiple imputation data and are not corrected for multiple comparisons. Readers are instead referred to the reported effect sizes and 95% CIs.

cPA: physical activity.

dObjective physical activity data are for individuals with at least 5 days of valid accelerometer wear time at both baseline and 3-month assessment periods (n=40). All other outcomes are reported for individuals who completed both baseline and 3-month questionnaires (n=58).

eMVPA: moderate to vigorous physical activity.

fAverage least active 5-hour period of each day in mg.

gAverage most active 5-hour period of each day in mg.

hENMO: Euclidean Norm Minus One.

iAverage wrist acceleration.

jIPAQ: International Physical Activity Questionnaire.

kLower scores are desirable for this outcome; thus, a negative effect size indicates a favorable result of the intervention.

lHAPA: Health Action Process Approach.
