11) Enter F.I.T. Value
The following procedure provides a quantitative method to determine a subject's Physical Activity Rating.
A person's F.I.T. value is a function of 3 parameters:
! Exercise Frequency - How often the exercise is performed.
! Exercise Intensity - How much energy is expanded during exercise.
! Exercise Time - How many minutes the exercise is performed during each session.
The F.I.T. value is calculated by multiplying all three parameters:
F.I.T. = Frequency x Intensity x Time
11A) Enter Frequency Value. Press ENTER.
FREQUENCY 5 Daily or almost daily (6 or 7 times per week)
4 3 to 5 times per week
3 1 or 2 times per week
2 A few times per month
1 Less than once per month
11B) Enter Intensity Value. Press ENTER.
INTENSITY 5 Aerobic activities that result in sustained heavy breathing and
perspiration (e.g. high impact aerobics, running, speed swimming,
distance cycling).
4 Intermittent aerobic activities that result in sustained heavy breathing
and perspiration (e.g. tennis, racquet-ball, squash).
3 Moderate aerobic activity (e.g. normal bike riding, jogging, low impact
aerobics).
