  1. Notes. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, ICC intra-class correlation. Values reflect the intervention effects (i.e., between-group differences) between baseline and follow-up. Values in bold denote beta (95% CI) and significance values of outcomes with significant intervention effects (P<0.05).
  2. aAdjusted for group and baseline value of the outcome measure.
  3. bAdditionally adjusted for, sex, SES group, weight status group (physical activity outcome measures were also adjusted for playground area, 20 m SRT performance, average weekly temperature and rainfall at baseline; food outcome measures were also adjusted for MVPA at baseline).
  4. cβ value.
  5. dOdds ratio.
