In fact, three or four relatively vigorous 1,000-metre 1,000-metres for a sturdy, compact workout.
Buoyed by a vigorous second half, Air Liquide S.A. of France, the world's biggest supplier of industrial gases, said its profit in 1999 rose 9.1percentto to 563 million euros ($546 million), up from 516 million euros the year before.
The proportion of respondents who were considered to have participated in RPA was 0.333 (light: 0.155; moderate or vigorous: 0.178).
The intensity of physical activity will be determined according to the cut-off points proposed by Freedson [ 54], sedentary (<100 counts/minute), light (100 1952 counts/minute), moderate (1952 5724 counts/minute) vigorous (>5724 counts/minute) and very vigorous (>9498 counts/minute).
Sedentary, moderate and vigorous activity levels were defined using published cut-points: sedentary <100 counts per minute (cpm), moderate 1535 3959 cpm and vigorous ≥3960 cpm [ 27, 28].
Aerobic activities were performed at light (55 64% maximum heart rate) 24, 31, moderate-to-vigorous (65 74% maximum heart rate) 8, 10, 21– 234 35, 38, 39, 39, vigorous (75 90% maximum heart rate) 19, 28, 29, 36, 37, or a combination of moderate activities and vigorous activities 20.
RPE values were classified according to the American College of Sports Medicine stand as very light (<9), light (9 11), moderate 12-133), vigorous (14 17), and near maximal to maximal (≥18).
Using the Freedson cut-off points [ 39], the number of minutes per day in light (100 1951 counts/min), moderate (1952 5724 counts/min) and vigorous (>5724 counts/min) activity were calculated as well as time spent sedentary (<100 counts/min).
Activity was monitored in one minute epochs, from which time spent in moderate (2000 3999 counts a minute; cpm) and vigorous (≥4000 cpm) activity in at least 10 min bouts were calculated.
The cut-off points applied in the present study stemmed from Troiano and his colleagues' research involving more than 6,000 participants [ 27] (Sedentary 0 to 99 counts per minute (CPM), Light 100 to 2,019 CPM, moderate 2,020 to 5,998 CPM and vigorous 5,999 CPM and above, MVPA 2,020 CPM and above).
