  1. Dependent variables are minutes of LPA and MVPA in each context or domain. a: multi-level linear mixed models only adjusted for total daily wear time and clustering of days within children and children within schools. b: multi-level linear mixed models also adjusted for gender, age, number of days with valid PA measurement, and meteorological variables. c: insufficient variation in data points to calculate multilevel model (see Tables 2 and 3). d: multi-level non-parametric negative binomial models also adjusted for gender, age, number of days with valid PA measurement, and meteorological variables. Bold numbers represent statistical significance at p < 0.05
