Table 4 Temporal patterns of physical activity during work and leisure among males and females. EVA derivatives (percent time; mean (SD)) among males (n = 108) and females (n = 83). ANOVA shows p-values for the main effect of gender and the interaction gender × time

  1. ANOVA was constructed with gender as a between subjects factor and time period (work vs leisure) as a within subject factor. Significant (p < .05) main effects of gender are shown in bold
