The purpose of this document is to show how to determine intensity using several modes of aerobic exercise. Exercise testing provides the information needed to determine exercise intensity based on metabolic equations. The simplest way to do this is providing the equations for determining the appropriate intensity to reach a desired target heart rate.

Oxygen consumption is essential to sustain life. The ability to take in and utilize oxygen is necessary for optimal health. At rest everyone consumes 3.5 ml/kg/min. which is one metabolic equivalent to oxygen consumption or MET. METs are used to gauge the intensity of activities based on oxygen consumption. In the American College of Sports Medicine Guideline for Exercise Testing and Prescription, there is a table of activities from A to Z and a range or MET values associated with each activity.
