Means ± SD are presented for both groups and timepoints. Mean changes over time (∆) are presented wit corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Changes were not statistically significant
^A Weekly time that participants were sedentary during waking hours
^B The RCP was not always reached during the CPET tests and was not imputed in cases a test was completed correctly and RCP was not reached Group A T0: n = 41, T1 n = 41; Group B T0: n = 37, T1 n = 44
COACH = the group of participants receiving a remote coaching intervention; CONTROL = the group of participants receiving no intervention; T0 = baseline; T1 = follow-up
PA = physical activity, MVPA = moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, VO₂peak = peak oxygen uptake, RER = respiratory exchange rate, VO₂VAT = oxygen uptake at ventilatory anaerobic threshold, VO₂RCP = oxygen uptake at respiratory compensation point, OUES = oxygen uptake efficiency slope, 1-RM = one-repetition maximum
