Percentage of time spent in sedentary behaviour, light physical activity and MVPA, and characteristics of sedentary bouts.

Accelerometer-derived variableMedian (IQR)

Percent of waking time spent in sedentary 86.9 (8.6)
Percent of waking time spent in light physical 12.9 (8.5)
Percent of waking time spent in 0.1 (0.1)
Average number of sedentary bouts per 51.5 (22.4)
Average duration in minutes of sedentary bouts13.4 (7.4)

Notes. behaviour corresponds to <100 accelerometer counts/minute. physical activity corresponds to 100–1951 accelerometer counts/minute. to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) corresponds to >1952 accelerometer counts/minute. bouts (1+) correspond to consecutive minutes involving <100 accelerometer counts/minute.
