*Level of habitual physical activity was categorized in accordance with the ‘WHO Guidelines of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior’: (1) inactive=0 hour/week, (2) inadequate=participants do not meet recommendations (150–300 min/week of moderate intensity or 75–150 min/week of vigorous intensity), (3) adequate=participants meet recommendations, but not more than 300 min/week of moderate intensity or 150 min/week of vigorous intensity, and (4) optimal=participants with more than 300 min/week of moderate intensity or 150 min/week of vigorous intensity of physical activity.
HRQoL, health-related quality of life; MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity.
