  1. PA physical activity, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity.
  2. Results are presented for study participants who adhered to the study interventions (per-protocol) as estimated mean changes (95% CI) during the low-calorie diet for all groups combined and for the four groups separately from randomization to week 52. Values were estimated from a linear mixed model with time, group, sex, age, and a time group interaction as fixed effects.
  3. aValues are estimated geometric mean ratios (below one is a decrease and above one is an increase).
