- Values are presented as means ± SD; there were no significant differences between groups (p > .05).
- Mild = minimal effort (e.g., easy walking), moderate = not exhausting (e.g.,. fast walking), strenuous = heart beats rapidly (e.g.,. running, soccer, squash, basketball),
- Intensity defined as:
- 1 = activities that require only sitting with minimal walking.
- 2 = activities that require a minimal amount of physical effort such as standing and slow walking with no increase in heart rate and no perspiration.
- 3 = activities that require carrying light loads (5–10 lb or 2–5 kg), continuous walking, mainly indoor activity and that would increase the heart rate slightly and cause light perspiration.
- 4 = activities that require carrying heavy loads (>10 lb or >5 kg), brisk walking, climbing, mainly outdoor activity, that increase the heart rate substantially and cause heavy sweating.
