Note. Less active: exercising less than three times a week, very active: exercising at least three times a week, and CI: 90% confidence interval. All data are percentages, with the exception of baseline values expressed in measurement units. Inferences shown in italic are clear at the 90% level of confidence. Adjusted to overall mean of the less active and very active groups at baseline. Adjusted mean change in the less active group minus adjusted mean change in the very active group. Magnitude thresholds (for difference in means divided by SD of control group): <0.20, trivial; 0.20–0.59, small; 0.60–1.19, moderate; 1.20–2.19, large; 2.2–4.0, very large. Increase; decrease. Asterisks indicate effects clear at the 5% level and likelihood that the true effect is substantial: possible, likely, very likely, and most likely. |
