Table 1 Classification of physical activity intensity based on Evenson accelerometer cut-off points and MET thresholds[18]
Physical activity intensity | Accelerometer cut points | Units of metabolic equivalent (MET) |
|---|---|---|
Sedentary activity | ≤ 100 counts/min | METs < 1.5 |
Light physical activity | > 100 counts/min | 1.5 ≤ METs < 4 |
Moderate physical activity | ≥ 2296 counts/min | 4 ≤ METs < 6 |
Vigorous physical activity | ≥ 4012 counts/min | METs ≥ 6 |
