  1. MPA: moderate-intensity physical activity. VPA: vigorous-intensity physical activity. MVPA: moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical LW: leisure walking. TW: transportation walking. Differences in continuous variables by neighbourhood relocation compared using Welch’s ANOVA with Dunnett T3 post hoc tests. Differences in categorical variables by neighbourhood relocation compared using Pearson’s chi-square.
  2. Same superscript (a,b) represents statistically significant (p < .05) difference between neighbourhood relocation groups. *Statistically significant (p < .05) difference between baseline and follow-up physical activity within neighbourhood relocation group (paired t-tests).
