  1. Results are Spearman correlation coefficients (r) and the respective probability of a type I error (p)
  2. MPA time spent in moderate physical activity, VPA time spent in vigorous physical activity, MVPA time spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity, Wpeak maximal power in cycle ergometry, HRpeak peak heart rate in cycle ergometry, VO2peak peak oxygen uptake in cycle ergometry, RQpeak peak respiratory quotient, VAS visual analogue scale
