Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the activity level from light to moderate will increase a person's exercise metabolic rate, as more energy is required to perform the activity at a higher intensity level. Decreasing the time spent exercising or performing light daily activities instead of structured exercise routines may not have a significant impact on the exercise metabolic rate. Decreasing the activity level from moderate to light may decrease the exercise metabolic rate as less energy is required for the activity.
