Accelerometer based independent and combined associations of physical activity and sedentary time on physical fitness in preschool children: a cross-sectional study

Table 5 ORs, β values and 95% CIs for the odds of higher physical fitness characteristic scores by combinations of PA and sedentary time in preschool children (n = 375).

Physical fitness characteristics	Low active/ High sedentary (n = 120) (Referent)	Low active/ Low sedentary ^a (n = 135)	High active/ High sedentary ^a (n = 67)	High active/ Low sedentary ^a (n = 53)
20 m shuttle run ^b (n = 375)	1.0	0.73 (0.35, 1.55)	1.52 (0.74, 3.14)	1.77 (0.82, 3.83)
Handgrip ^b (n = 375)	1.0	1.38 (0.63, 3.01)	2.29 (1.09, 4.80) *	3.50 (1.59, 7.70) **
Standing long jump ^b (n = 375)	1.0	1.22 (0.58, 2.55)	1.56 (0.75, 3.24)	1.65 (0.75, 3.66)
Musculoskeletal fitness ^b (n = 375)	1.0	2.25 (1.01, 5.02) *	1.96 (0.91, 4.21)	4.09 (1.82, 9.22) ***
2 × 10 m shuttle run ^b (n = 375)	1.0	1.61 (0.78, 3.31)	1.87 (0.92, 3.82)	0.95 (0.40, 2.23)
Physical fitness composite Z-score ^c (n = 375)	1.0	0.04 (-0.17, 0.26)	0.20 (-0.02, 0.41)	0.30 (0.07, 0.54) *

^a Models were adjusted for age (months), sex, body mass index (kg/m²) and accelerometer wear time (min/day); ^b data are expressed as ORs and 95% CIs; ^c data are expressed as βs and 95% CIs; * P Value < 0.05; ** P Value < 0.01; *** P Value < 0.001.
