^aAverage sedentary time gain was 31 min (6.0%), LPA gain was 21 min (7.4%), and MVPA gain was 4 min (7.1%). These estimates account for relevant changes in sleep, WASO, sedentary time, light physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity using compositional analysis. Note that these changes are in the context of the child being mildly sleep deprived
