MVPA 101

What is MVPA?

MVPA refers to moderate to vigorous physical activities. Physical activity is a core component of a healthy lifestyle, and covers a range from incidental movement (such as walking to get to places) to leisure-time physical activity such as sports and exercise that range from moderate-intensity to vigorous-intensity.

What physical activities can I do?

INCIDENTAL / LIGHT INTENSITY

Activities that build up over the day.

MODERATE-INTENSITY

Breathe faster |
Raised Heart Rate

VIGOROUS-INTENSITY

Rapid breathing |
Difficulty talking

Why should I do higher intensity physical activities?

Reduce risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and certain cancers

Help control and maintain healthy weight

Improve balance and coordination to help prevent falls

Keep bones, muscles and joints strong

Promote mental well-being, reduce stress and anxiety

Enable one to look and feel good

How do I track my physical activities intensity?

To gauge the intensity level of your physical activities, you can simply measure your heart rate during your activities. Heart rate is measured in beats per minute (bpm) and can vary greatly from person to person depending on factors like age and fitness level.

Exercise within the moderate to vigorous intensity heart rate zones to clock your MVPA minutes!

heart rate monitoring fitness TRACKER

With the heart rate monitoring fitness tracker, you can now check your heart rate continuously and easily during your physical activities! Just make sure it is charged and worn correctly on the wrist as you move throughout the day.

RECORDING YOUR FITNESS ACTIVITIES

To monitor your heart rate with greater accuracy during exercise sessions, trigger the “Workout Mode” within your heart rate monitoring fitness tracker.

The Healthy 365 mobile app will only register MVPA duration for exercise sessions that

last more than 10 minutes; and
are at moderate to vigorous levels of intensity

For instructions on how to activate the “Workout Mode”, kindly refer to the instruction manual which comes along with the Tracker within its packaging.

How to calculate my maximum heart rate?

Use the formula below to estimate your age-predicted maximum heart rate

220 - Your Age = Maximum Heart Rate

In other words, MVPA is attained when you reach at least 64% of your maximum heart rate.

64% x Maximum Heart Rate = MVPA

Heart-Rate Zone (% of Maximum Heart Rate)
LIGHT 57% - 63% of Max Heart Rate	MODERATE 64% - 75% of Max Heart Rate	VIGOROUS 76% - 95% of Max Heart Rate

Heart Rate Zone (% of Maximum Heart Rate)
LIGHT 57% - 63% of Max Heart Rate
MODERATE 64% - 75% of Max Heart Rate
VIGOROUS 76% - 95% of Max Heart Rate

How do I estimate my max heart rate?

	25-years old	45-years old	65-years old
Light (57 - 63% max HR)	111 - 123	99 - 111	88 - 98
Moderate (64 - 75% max HR)	124 - 147	112 - 132	99 - 117
Vigorous (76 - 95% max HR)	148 - 185	133 - 166	118 - 148

Health Advisory
You are strongly encouraged to exercise discretion when embarking on higher intensity physical activities. Please complete the health declaration on the Healthy 365 mobile app and ensure you are in good fitness condition before attempting MVPA.
