Moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA), light (LPA) SB an accelerometer. Bayesian lagged multilevel regressions including all three to obtain unique effects conducted. Results On higher disorder than usual, patients engaged less MVPA, more SB. Patients overall LPA there was MVPA LPA, Conclusions highlight necessity screen treat
