Fig. 2

Sex differences in the activity intensity distribution at each age during weekdays and weekend days. The present figure illustrates how the full spectrum of activity intensity (counts/15s) differs between boys and girls in preschoolers, children, and adolescents separately. Sex differences (95% CI) are shown separately for weekdays (at the top) and weekend days (at the bottom). To ease interpretation of the activity intensity distribution, the red dashed lines represent the common intensity categories: SB (sedentary behaviour, 0–180 counts/15s), LIPA (light physical activity, 181–756 counts/15s), MPA (moderate physical activity, 757–1111 counts/15s), and VPA (vigorous physical activity, > 1111 counts/15s). In this figure, a positive value indicates that girls spend more time in this specific intensity range (counts/15s) than boys.
