- Minutes spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) [ Time Frame: The primary outcome is measured at baseline and after a 7-day intervention period (1 week) ]A GT3X accelerometer is used to monitor each participants physical activity levels for seven consecutive days at baseline and again following a 7-day intervention period. The amount of time per day spent above a threshold of 2200 accelerometer counts/min is averaged over at least three days as the measure of MVPA.
