p ≤ 0.05; ALT= serum alanine aminotransferase; PA = physical activity; CRF = cardiorespiratory fitness; SB = sedentary behaviour; LPA = light physical activity; MVPA = moderate – to – vigorous physical activity; Model 1 adjusted for gender, and maturational stage; Model 2 adjusted for gender, maturational stage and central obesity; Model 3 adjusted for gender, maturational stage, central obesity, and CRF.
