In this episode, we dive into a cornerstone publication that tackles one of the biggest barriers to effective physical activity promotion: inconsistent terminology. Join us as we unpack the 2010 position statement by Norton, Norton, and Sadgrove, which calls for a universal system to describe exercise intensity.We explore the proposed five-level intensity framework—sedentary, light, moderate, vigorous, and high—and discuss how using consistent objective and subjective measures (like METs and the Borg RPE scale) can revolutionise how we prescribe, research, and talk about physical activity. Whether you’re a health professional, exercise scientist, or just curious about how activity is classified, this episode will help you understand why language matters in movement—and how small changes in terminology can lead to big improvements in health outcomes.
