Table 3 Comparison of domain-specific movement trajectory profile characteristics by sex

From: Socioeconomic position as a predictor of youth's movement trajectory profiles between ages 10 and 14 years

Profile Group

Characteristics

Males

High sleep screenies

• Least amount of time in work and household light physical activity compared to other profiles

• Steepest decrease in structured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity

• Most time in nighttime sleep compared to other profiles

• Some napping

• Relatively low time in education-based sedentary behavior

• Least amount of time in passive transport compared to other profiles

• Maintained relatively high time spent in recreational screen activities

Low screen workers

• Relatively most time spent in work and household light physical activity

• Slight decrease in unstructured but slight increase in structured moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity

• Steepest decrease in nighttime sleep

• Some napping

• Most time spent in education-based sedentary behavior and passive transport compared to other profiles

• Least time spent in screen time compared to other profiles

Increasingly active nappers

• Increased structured and unstructured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity

• Most time spent napping compared to all other profiles

• Least time spent in education-based sedentary behavior compared to all other groups

• High amount of recreational screen activities

All-rounders

• Slight decrease in unstructured but slight increase in structured moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity

• Minimal napping

• Moderate amount of work and household light physical activity, nighttime sleep, education-based sedentary behavior, passive transport, and recreational screen activities compared to all other profiles

Females

Low screen studious

• Low unstructured moderate-vigorous physical activity

• Minimal naps

• Increased education-based sedentary behavior (most time spent compared to all other profiles)

• Least time spent in recreational screen activities compared to all other profiles

• Relatively high passive transport

Napping actives

• Low unstructured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity but increase in structured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (most time compared to all other profiles)

• Most time spent napping compared to all other profiles

• Relatively high passive transport

• Relatively low recreational screen activities

Increasingly studious screenies

• Some napping

• Increased education-based sedentary behavior (spent the least time compared to all other profiles)

• Relatively high recreational screen activities

Low social-time nappers

• Fairly stable structured and unstructured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity

• Increased napping

• Only group with stable social-based sedentary behavior (least amount of time compared to all other groups)

Working screenies

• Most time in work and household physical activity compared to all other profiles

• Limited napping

• Only group to decrease passive transport

• Relatively high recreational screen activities
