Light Activity   Light effort activity causes a slight increase in breathing rate, heartbeat, and body temperature. (eg: curling, golf, canoeing, walking, mowing lawn, bowling, easy gardening)

 

Moderate Activity   Moderate effort activity is sufficiently intense to cause an increase in breathing rate, heartbeat, and body temperature. (eg: brisk walking, swimming, dancing, raking leaves, bicycling on level ground)

Vigorous Activity   Vigorous effort activity is sufficiently intense to cause heavy breathing, a rapid heartbeat, and sweating. (eg: aerobics, jogging, cross-country skiing, squash/racquet ball, fast swimming, chopping wood, bicycling on hills)
