  1. aModel 1 = quadratic equation with random slope and intercept with METs (centred at 3 METS) as the predictor, Model 2 = model 1 with the addition of BMI (centred at the mean value, 27.4 kg · m−2) as a covariate
  2. MVPA moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity, CI confidence intervals, SD standard deviation, VA vertical axis, VM vector magnitude, BMI body mass index
