  1. abased on smaller subsample of days with valid data in both before- during- and after school time. b: based on individual samples that included days with data on any behavioural domain or any context, irrespective of other domains or contexts. Gender differences were analyzed using multi-level linear mixed models adjusted for gender, age, number of days with valid PA measurement, and clustering of days within children and children within schools. c: significantly higher for boys compared to girls. d: significantly higher for girls compared to boys
