Proportion of days characterised by meeting the former guideline daily amount of physical activity for all children aged younger than 5 years (≥180 min of total physical activity) and the new international guideline daily amount of physical activity for children aged 3 to 4 years (≥180 min of total physical activity including ≥60 min MVPA), stratified by ethnicity, gender and age. The top tile relates to meeting the guideline daily amount of physical activity for all children aged younger than 5 years who are capable of walking. The bottom tile relates to meeting the new international guideline daily amount of physical activity for children aged 3 to 4 years. Sample sizes: South Asian boys aged 2 years: 27 children; 64 time-points; 260 days; South Asian boys aged 3 years: 43 children; 72 time-points; 339 days; South Asian boys aged 4 years: 30 children; 42 time-points; 323 days; South Asian girls aged 2 years: 36 children; 93 time-points; 300 days; South Asian girls aged 3 years: 37 children; 74 time-points; 461 days; South Asian girls aged 4 years: 29 children; 35 time-points; 328 days; white British boys aged 2 years: 26 children; 45 time-points; 186 days; white British boys aged 3 years: 41 children; 68 time-points; 320 days; white British boys aged 4 years: 8 children; 8 time-points; 133 days; white British girls aged 2 years: 27 children; 48 time-points; 214 days; white British girls aged 3 years: 32 children; 45 time-points; 262 days; white British girls aged 4 years: 6 children; 6 time-points; 55 days. Due to small numbers, for 7 children aged 1.6 to 1.9 years (contributing 12 time-points and 139 days), age was rounded to 2 years. For another 7 children aged 5.0 to 5.1 years (contributing 7 time-points and 67 days) age was rounded to 4 years. PA, physical activity. MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
