Table 1

Methods of assessment.

Method	Calculation	“Sufficiently active” thresholds
Kcal	Hours per week of moderate intense activities × (4 METS) + hours of vigorous intense activities × (7.5 METS) × body weight (kg)	≥800/week
Met⋅mins	Minutes per week of moderate intense activities × (4 METS) + minutes of vigorous intense activities × (7.5 METS)	≥600/week
MVPA mins	Minutes per week of moderate intense activity + minutes per week of vigorous intense activity (unweighted for intensity)	≥150
