  1. a MVPA refers to moderate to vigorous physical activity, indicating minutes in which the accelerometer registered ≥1065 cpm
  2. b LPA refers to light intensity physical activity, indicating minutes in which the accelerometer registered 50–1064 cpm
  3. c STA refers to stationary time, indicating minutes in which the accelerometer registered < 50 cpm
  4. d Denotes the proportion of total accelerometer wear time spent in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity
  5. e Denotes the proportion of total accelerometer wear time spent in light intensity physical activity
  6. f Denotes the proportion of total accelerometer wear time spent in sedentary behavior
