Average activity intensity of the 60 min free-choice session. Top panel: average rate of activity counts (counts/minute) of boys and girls assigned to the no choice (1 active toy) and choice (access to 3 active toys) groups. *Indicates a significantly (p < 0.05) greater activity intensity of the girls assigned to the 3 toys group compared to the 1 toy group. Middle panel: activity intensity of children while playing with active traditional toys and exergames. *Indicates a significant (p < 0.05) greater activity intensity while playing traditional indoor games compared to exergames. Bottom panel: moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA, minutes) of boys and girls assigned to the no choice (1 active toy) and choice (access to 3 active toys) groups. *Indicates significantly (p < 0.05) greater MVPA of the girls assigned to the 3 toys group compared to the 1 toy group.
