Which statement best describes the Light intensity MET range?

• A. Light 1.8-2.9 MET
• B. Moderate 3.0-5.9 MET
• C. Vigorous >6.0 MET
• D. 0-1.0 MET

Answer: (A)

Light intensity sits below the line that separates light from moderate activity, typically around 1.5 to 3.0 MET. The range 1.8-2.9 MET fits neatly within light intensity, meaning it describes activities that raise energy use modestly above rest but do not reach the threshold for moderate. It stays under 3.0 MET, which is the cutoff for moving into moderate. By contrast, 3.0-5.9 MET describes moderate effort, over 6.0 MET is vigorous, and 0-1.0 MET is essentially rest. So the 1.8-2.9 MET range best characterizes light intensity.
