Right.

I don't include those, but I'm absolutely getting my heart rate up.

Wait, can we pause for a minute?

When you say what the intensity of their activity is and their accelerometer, right?

Yeah.

So people might be confused and they, again, might be going back to heart rate.

Like when they hear wearable device and they're thinking intensity, I know my brain goes right there, like heart rate.

Can you kind of explain like how they were able to define light, moderate, and vigorous with this accelerometer data?

What I was thinking about...

when kind of reading the paper and like talking about it with you is how it would categorize, like let's say someone was like doing bicep curls, right?

Because your wrist is moving, but you're not really walking.

You're not really moving distance wise.

So is that something that would be picked up by this device and considered and what bucket would it be?

Because like some people can be like moving fast, right?

Considering that.

Yeah.

I mean, considering that, because, you know, a lot of times when people hear the word vigorous intensity activity, they're not really thinking of resistance training.

So maybe like you can give some examples.

At least I know the study laid out some examples with respect to what's actually considered vigorous.

you know, vigorous versus moderate versus light.
