  1. *Movement behaviours represent the total durations accumulated in a 24-hour day, unless otherwise indicated (e.g., Out-of-school MVPA). All compositional mean and standard deviation values are in minutes/day, and weighted by individual study sample sizes.
  2. SD = standard deviation, LPA = light physical activity, MVPA = moderate to vigorous physical activity, MPA = moderate physical activity, VPA = vigorous physical activity
