  1. PA physical activity, HRQOL health related quality of life, measured using PedsQL™ scales, n number of participants, β model coefficient, CI confidence interval. Differences significant at p < 0.05 are shown in bold
  2. aModels adjusted for sex, age, BMI, pubertal status, socioeconomic position and TUD contextual variables (season and school attendance) at 10-11y. Longitudinal models additionally controlled for HRQOL scores at 10-11y. Unadjusted estimates are provided in Additional file 1
  3. b + 6.9% is considered a clinically important difference for physical HRQOL
  4. c + 5.5% is considered a clinically important difference for psychosocial HRQOL
  5. d + 4.5% is considered a clinically important difference for total HRQOL
