  1. Note: Treatment effect, the associated 95% CI and P-value are from multiple linear regression model, accounting for the interaction between PPI and baseline engagement in PA in parks
  2. *With two extreme outliers removed in outcome: Objective 10 min bouted MVPA
  3. **Significant interaction between PPI and baseline engagement in PA in parks was found, effect size −113.8 (−209.5, − 18.1) min/week, p = 0.020
