The Editors have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised about the statistical significance of the findings. Post-publication review found additional issues such as excluding individuals with missing observations, testing repeating physical activity (Fig. 3) instead of repeated measure analysis, and lack of clarity about how the accelerometer data was summarised and assessed as the results were not easily reproducible. Therefore, the Editors have lost confidence in the findings of this study. The authors did not state explicitly whether they agree to this retraction.
