Intervention
After the baseline measurements, the participants were randomly allocated by a statistician to the INT and CONT groups using random permuted blocks with 1:1 allocation ratio and block size of 44, performed separately for men and women.The participants in the INT group received a 1-h tailored personal counseling session with a physiotherapist, where they were instructed to reduce their SB by 1 h·dThe CONT participants were instructed to maintain their habitual PA and SB during the intervention and received the mobile application and accelerometer. The goals for SB and PA in the application were set according to the baseline accelerometer measurements. Both groups were instructed not to alter their diet during the intervention, and this was assessed by 4-d food diaries before and at the end of the intervention. The mean daily energy intake was calculated with computerized software (AivoDiet 2.2.0.1; Aivo, Turku, Finland). The duration of the intervention was 5–6 months, after which all measurements done at the baseline were repeated.
