Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation, n [%], or median (1st quartile–3rd quartile). Differences in n are due to some data not being reported by participants, regardless of whether or not they were lost to follow-up. GLTE: Godin Leisure Time Exercise questionnaire; LPA: light physical activity; MPA: moderate physical activity; MVPA: moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; VPA: vigorous physical activity.
