So typically, you know, especially in this podcast, I've talked a lot about vigorous intensity exercise and with regards to like heart rate measurements.
Like people are wearing these wearable devices and they're measuring their heart rate.
And usually it's like you're getting into the 80 percent max heart rate or above, you know, and it is.
Like you said, it's really not, that includes vigorous, yes, but especially when we get into this study that we're gonna talk about today and looking at the physical activity guidelines in general, vigorous is a little bit less than that.
So it does include more of that zone two type of training, but you are running, you are able to maybe say a few sentences while they may be breathy, you can still state them, that's actually considered vigorous.
if we're actually just talking about the physical activity guidelines.
Very important.
And then also just, you know, I think we sort of already stated this, but just to kind of reiterate, talking about the potential flaws of the physical activity guidelines is one potential, like looking at long-term like health outcomes, right?
Two would be like relying on self-reported data.
And that's something that we're going to get into today.
You know, when you're trying to ask people to,
remember their physical activity.
And you're going to talk about this a little bit more.
It's just not accurate.
And then the third one would be that it's not actually able to capture some of these like, you know, you're playing with your kids or you're sprinting around with your puppy, right?
These short bursts of physical activity.
