Total physical activity levels and classification criteria recommended by Global Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Level of Total Physical Activity	Physical Activity Thresholds
High	≥3 days of vigorous activity (at work and during recreation) in a typical week AND a total physical activity MET-minutes per week ≥1500. ≥7 days of vigorous activity (commuting, at work, and during recreation) in a typical week AND a total physical activity MET-minutes per week ≥3000.
Moderate	Does not achieve the above criteria but does achieve one of the next following: ≥3 days of vigorous activity (at work and during recreation) in a typical week, at least 20 min each day. ≥5 days of vigorous or moderate activity (commuting, at work, and during recreation) in a typical week, at least 30 min each day. ≥5 days of vigorous or moderate activities (commuting, at work, and during recreation) in a typical week, at least 600 MET-minutes per week of total physical activity.
Low	Do not achieve the high or moderate criteria.
