  1. Note: Summary data are raw scores and significant differences indicated in bold. Values with the same superscript were significantly different on post-hoc analysis
  2. MARCA variables: N=107 (Control, n=34, Moderate, n=37, Extensive, n=36). Accelerometry variables: N=95 (Control, n=28, Moderate, n=35, Extensive, n=32)
  3. MVPA moderate to vigorous physical activity, MARCA Multimedia Activity Recall for Children and Adults, ACC accelerometery, SD standard deviation
