Table 4.

Fixed effects parameter estimates from linear mixed models for resting heart rate (RHR, n = 18). Model 1: time only. Model 2: moderating effects of activity minutes per day. Model 3: moderating effects of moderate/vigorous activity minutes per day. Time was restricted to 43 weeks prior to birth and 8 weeks post-partum for the models
