  1. aValues are means ± SDs, L-day: low activity day, M-day: a day with high-frequency moderate physical activity, V-day: a day with high-frequency vigorous physical activity, 24-h EE: 24-hour total energy expenditure, BMR: basal metabolic rate
  2. bPhysical activity level was calculated as 24-h EE divided by BMR
  3. cSignificant differences compared with values for L-day in each variable (P < 0.05)
  4. dSignificant differences compared with values for M-day in each variable (P < 0.05)
