Table 3 Differences in sedentary behavior, standing still, and physical activity between weeks 1 and 2

From: Differences in sedentary time and physical activity among mothers and children using a movement-to-music video program in the home environment: a pilot study

Group

Percentage of measurement time in week 1, mean (SD)

Percentage of measurement time in week 2, mean (SD)

Median of change, percentage points (min., max.)

Wilcoxon test (changes within group), p value

Ordered logistic regression, adjusted for time wearing the accelerometer in the first week, estimate (95 % CI) and p value

  1. Italic values indicate statistical significance at p < 0.05
  2. * If +, sedentary time increased, and if −, sedentary time decreased. The latter is a positive change
  3. ** If +, SS, LPA or MVPA increased, and if −, it decreased. The first is a positive change
