Be able to identify if something is light intensity exercise, moderate intensity exercise or vigorous
intensity exercise based on MET levels. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅light intensity: 2-2.9
moderate intensity: 3-5.9
vigorous intensity: >/= 6.0

CORRECT ANSWER✅✅No, when older and younger individuals work at the same MET level, the relative
intensity is usually different
