  1. Path coefficients (β), standard error (SE), standardized regression weights (Std B), and p-values for paths in the structural equation model with motor competence (MC) at age 13 as the outcome. Bold text indicates significant paths (p-value > 0.05 *Boy is coded 1, girl is coded 2. DPA diversified physical activities; MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; MC = motor competence; Int. = intervention (coded 1)/control-group (coded 2); W/H weight / height ratio; 6 y = 6 years of age; 9 y = 9 years of age; 13 y = 13 years of age
