  1. Values reported are adjusted least square means for the log of activity counts, along with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Models are adjusted for subject, age, sex, weight category, date, temperature, weather, and location-weather interactions, as well as time sequences (polynomial time terms remained significant up to time8, p < 0.0001) to account for potential temporal effects of physical activity.
