  1. AP Active Play. FMS Fundamental movement skills. PA Physical Activity. No multivariable regression models were run for screen time, daily amounts of active play and outdoor active play since fewer predictors were associated with practice changes over time. Covariates included area-level community variables (population size, median income, and percent of individuals with some post-secondary education)
  2. 1 Dichotomous characteristic (yes/no, with “no” as the reference group)
  3. a Implementation support was removed due to its collinearity with PA capacity (materials). PA capacity (time) was removed due to its collinearity with self-efficacy
