Activities are defined by intensity, which is measured by METs (Metabolic Equivelants).
< 3.0 mets
<4 kcal/min
LIGHT
3.0-6.0 mets
4-7 kcal/min
MODERATE
>6.0 mets
>7 kcal/min
VIGOROUS
MET (Metabolic Equivalent)
The ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. One MET is defined as 1 kcal/kg/hour and is roughly equivalent to the energy cost of sitting quietly. A MET also is defined as oxygen uptake in ml/kg/min with one MET equal to the oxygen cost of sitting quietly, equivalent to 3.5 ml/kg/min.
