Trajectories of children’s physical activity volume and intensity across the school year: the Ready, Set, Move project
Weekday physical activity volume but not intensity increased over the school year, while both dimensions of weekend activity had stable trajectories. Weekday and weekend cluster groups had distinct physical activity profiles which followed subtly different AvAcc and IG trajectories. The results reinforce the complementary insights provided by studying AvAcc and IG together and have implications for children's physical activity intervention programming.
