How to Measure IntensityHow to Measure Intensity
• Measure heart rate:Measure heart rate:– Heart rate watchesHeart rate watches– EKGsEKGs
• Use the Borg rating of perceived Use the Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scaleexertion (RPE) scale
• Measure metabolic rate:Measure metabolic rate:– CalorimetryCalorimetry– Indirect spirometry calorimetryIndirect spirometry calorimetry– Other expressions of metabolic rateOther expressions of metabolic rate

Expressions of Metabolic RateExpressions of Metabolic Rate
• Kilocalories (Kcals): Kilocalories (Kcals): – Typical metabolic rate at rest: 1.25 Kcal/minTypical metabolic rate at rest: 1.25 Kcal/min– Recommended level of activity for health Recommended level of activity for health
benefits: 150benefits: 150–200 Kcals/day–200 Kcals/day
• Metabolic equivalents (METs)Metabolic equivalents (METs)– Multiples of the resting VOMultiples of the resting VO2 2 levellevel– One MET = 3.5mL • kg body weightOne MET = 3.5mL • kg body weight-1 -1 • min • min-1 -1
