  1. PA physical activity, HRQOL health related quality of life, measured using PedsQL™ scales, n number of participants, CI confidence interval. Differences significant at p < 0.05 are shown in bold
  2. a Models adjusted for sex, age, BMI, pubertal status, socioeconomic position, TUD contextual variables (season and school attendance) and the multiplicative total of PA at 10-11y. Longitudinal models additionally controlled for HRQOL scores at 10-11y. Unadjusted estimates are provided in Additional file 2
