  1. Where possible, results are presented separately for self-report vs direct measures of PA (e.g., Barnett 2017a vs Barnett 2017b). 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 is provided for each determinant representing the overall direction from the majority (i.e., > 50%) of reviews. Summaries only included the direct measure overall relationship when reviews presented both self-report and direct PA relationships. If no majority was found across reviews, the determinant was summarized as inconsistent
  2. Corrected covered area: N—the sum of the number of primary papers in each review; r – total number of primary papers included (unique); c – number of reviews
  3. \(\mathrm{CCA}=\frac{N-r}{rc-r}\)
  4. Abbreviations: CCA corrected covered area, 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, Lim less than four relationships were presented (limited evidence), Neg negative, Pos positive
  5. aIncluding results from only self-reported PA
  6. bIncluding results from only direct measure PA
  7. cNarrative summary (individual study relationships not reported)
  8. dSummary is based on a single review
