  1. PA, physical activity. * Effect analyses were adjusted for school clustering, baseline physical activity, gender, pubertal status, month of measuring physical activity, weight category and parental education. ** Intervention group means significantly lower than control group means, p < 0.01. Test of interaction condition x gender: p = 0.22.
