How to characterize physical activity?

Intensity

Frequency Volume

Duration

Domain & Pattern


Holtermann et al 2020, BJSM

Climate
Physical activity
Quantification and categorization

Body posture – ex. sitting/standing

Activities – ex. walking/running/biking

Intensity (%HRmax , kcal)

Frequency (bouts/day) Volume (METhours, kcal)

Duration (min, hours)


Physical activity intensity
Units for categorization
