  1. Values are means (SD); MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; LPA light-intensity physical activity; ST sedentary time
  2. All differences between weekdays and weekend days are significant (p < 0.05) except for MVPA (min⋅d−1) at T2 and T3
  3. No gender-outcome interactions were found; the results were combined for both boys and girls
