Table 4.
The change of physical activity level (presurgery to 4 weeks postsurgery)
| Before surgery M (SD) | First interview M (SD) | Second interview M (SD) | Third interview M (SD) | P for time | |
| VPA (min/week) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | N/A |
| MPA (min/week) | 41.0 (113.4) | 0 | 0 | 12.3 (54.1) | 0.07 |
| Total PA (min/week) | 142.6 (167.6) | 49.8 (61.6)* | 96.1 (175.4) | 142.6 (161.9) | 0.02 |
| Walk (min/week) | 204.4 (208.0) | 142.1 (165.3) | 173.1 (139.1) | 222.9 (166.4) | 0.1 |
Total physical activity = (minutes of MVPA at week) + (minutes of leisure-time MVPA) + (minutes of transportation PA).
*P<0.05 vs baseline total PA.
MPA, moderate physical activity; M (SD), mean (SD); NA, not available; PA, physical activity; VPA, vigorous physical activity.
