Beyond Moderate-to-Vigorous Activity Metrics
Researchers are expanding how movement is defined and measured. Moving beyond traditional intensity thresholds, newer models examine total daily movement patterns and behavior integration, reflecting a broader understanding of how adherence develops over time.
This broader view of movement encourages professionals to validate non-gym activity as meaningful progress. Clients who feel their daily movement “counts” may be more willing to stay engaged with structured training as well.
Why it matters: Validating all movement supports adherence and keeps clients engaged during life disruptions or schedule changes.
