  1. All values are standardized β coefficients (95% CI), analysed with a linear mixed model. The models are adjusted for sex, baseline age, baseline body mass index, parental education- and income level, FMS assessor at baseline and at follow-up, baseline accelerometer wear time, and baseline value of the outcome. TPA Total physical activity, cpm Counts per minute, SED Sedentary behaviour, LPA Light physical activity, MPA Moderate physical activity, VPA Vigorous physical activity, MVPA Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, FMS Fundamental motor skills. P-value in bold is statistic significant to the level of P < 0.05
