  1. Data presented are: ρ (spearman rank correlation coefficient) and к coefficient
  2. aSedentary activity = time spent in activities <1.5 MET; light activity = time spent in activities 1.5-3 METS; MVPA = time spent in activities >3 MET
  3. p-value for spearman rank and к coefficient is a test of independence between the two data measures
