Activities are defined by intensity, which is measured by METs (Metabolic Equivelants).
< 3.0 mets
<4 kcal/min
LIGHT
They are simply, light and easy to do.
3.0-6.0 mets
4-7 kcal/min
MODERATE
They slightly speed up breathing and heart rate, and cause mild sweating without exertion
>6.0 mets
>7 kcal/min
VIGOROUS
They use large muscle groups and greatly speed up breathing and heart rate, and cause profuse sweating and exertion.
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.
