Participants were classified as active (>2.5 h/wk of moderate physical activity or >1 h/wk of vigorous physical activity), inactive (<1 h/wk of moderate physical activity and <1 h/wk of vigorous physical activity), or moderately active (neither active nor inactive) (21).
Participants were then classified as active (>2.5 h/week of moderate physical activity or >1 h/week of vigorous physical activity), inactive (<1 h/week of moderate physical activity and <1 h/week of vigorous physical activity), or moderately active (if not active or inactive).

Currently in Britain, just 40percentnt of men and 26percentnt of women take enough exercise - defined as 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity on five or more days a week.
The lifestyle goals were 1) weight reduction of ≥5%, 2) <30% of the daily energy intake from fat, 3) <10% of the daily energy intake from saturated fat, 4) fiber intake ≥15 grams per 1000 kcal, and 5) moderately intense physical activity ≥30 minutes per day.
Moderately intense physical activity included sport activities, walking, cycling, gardening and performing heavy housework.
At least 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity on at least five days a week is the current recommended level.
The intervention included a moderately intense physical activity goal of ≥175 min a week, such as brisk walking or similar unsupervised at-home aerobic exercise.
Despite these benefits, a large proportion of adults in European countries fail to achieve the minimum recommendation of 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity every day [ 3].
