Frequency of moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity

Freq aerobic physical activity

Definition

  • The frequency (days/week, min/week, hours/day, etc.) that the patient spends doing moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity per week. According to the 2008 Physical activity guidelines (PAG) for Americans, adult patients should spend at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week doing moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity. Adults who do 300 minutes (5 hours) of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity a week, or 150 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity, have greater health benefits. For children and adolescents, the 2008 PAG recommends about 60 minutes or more per day and at least 3 days per week of either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity.
