  • Data are presented as estimated means (SE) from linear mixed models.

  • *Difference in differences estimated changes (postprogramme/12 monthsintervention – baselineintervention) – (postprogramme/12 monthscontrol – baselinecontrol).

  • †Models were adjusted for baseline values, sex and accelerometer wear time.

  • ‡Models were adjusted for baseline values and sex.

  • LIPA, light-intensity physical activity; MS, maximal strength; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; NA, not available; VO2 max, maximal oxygen uptake.
