  • All models were adjusted for age, sex and mean accelerometer wear time, with schools treated as random effects.

  • *Higher scores represent greater self-efficacy and parent support.

  • BMI, body mass index; LPA, light-intensity physical activity; MPA, moderate-intensity physical activity; PA, physical activity; ref, reference category; VPA, vigorous-intensity physical activity.
