  1. Where possible, results are presented separately for self-report vs direct measures of PA (e.g., Stubbs 2014a vs Stubbs2014b). Based on the cut-offs described above, an overall direction between PA and the determinant is shown for each review. The brackets contain the percent of relationships that favoured the overall direction and the number of relationships examined for each determinant. A summary was not created due to heterogeneity of populations
  2. Abbreviations: Null > 60% of relationships were not significantly related, + Cor > 60% of relationships were positively related, -Cor > 60% of relationships were negatively related, IC inconsistent results (< 60% of results favour all directions), Lim limited—less than 4 relationships were presented
  3. aIncluding results from only self-reported PA
  4. bIncluding results from only direct measure PA
