  • MVPA1 min, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (≥3 metabolic equivalents (METs)) calculated from single 1 min bouts throughout the measurement period.

  • MVPA10 min, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (≥3 METs) calculated from bouts of physical activity lasting continuously for ≥10 min.

  • VPA1 min, vigorous physical activity (≥6 METs) calculated from single 1 min bouts throughout the measurement period.

  • VPA10 min, vigorous physical activity (≥6 METs) calculated from bouts of physical activity lasting continuously for ≥10 min.
