  1. All estimates are in min/day except for number of steps/day that is presented in number of steps taken per day
  2. N, number of observations
  3. Q1-Q3, first and third quartile
  4. Moving consists of small movements without regular walking during a standing posture
  5. Walk slow and fast corresponds to walking <100 and ≥100 steps/min, respectively
  6. Prevalence refers to the prevalence of cycling >0 min/day and running >10 s/day (on average), respectively
  7. s, seconds
  8. LIPA, light intensity physical activity
  9. MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
