  1. Active = walking, running, stair climbing and cycling. aWorkers with valid leisure time accelerometer measurements. bWork time behaviours information only on workdays. cWorkers with valid work accelerometer measurements. Closure constant for leisure time composition was 450 min on workdays and 960 min on non-workdays based on the average accelerometer-derived leisure and non-work time. Closure constant for work time composition was 450 min based on the average accelerometer-derived work time
