PA = physical activity; PE = physical education; MVPA = moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity
*values are the average % of time spent in MVPA estimated from the general linear mixed model adjusting for other variables
† P-values were estimated from the omnibus F-test in the general linear mixed model
‡BMI for age and sex percentile
#Tukey’s adjustment was used for pairwise comparisons.
