CDC Suggested Activty analysis in Logbook

[carlb]

On the Logbook, the Challenges tab, it shows the Annual Meters Honor Board with "Your Average Daily Meters are: x,xxx"

Suggest add to that "Average Week Meters and Time" e.g. "Your Average Week: 12,345 Meters and 3.25 Hours"

The CDC Suggested Activty for Adults is "75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity every week" with "Even Greater Health Benefits" at 150 minutes/week.

Rowing is normally vigorous, so having the online logbook show average time per week is a nice reminder. It could even add a "Congrats!" at 75 minutes, when less than 75 a reminder and link to CDC guidelines.

Suggest results_rsummary.asp at the bottom below totals show average per week (or month on that view) and include the zero weeks in the calculation. For example: "28 of 32 weeks with activity, 12,345 meters and 1:23 hours average/week"

It's probably a good idea to email ranking@concept2.com about that.

I'd want it as an option since your US CDC rules (75'/week) don't quite match my UK Dept. of Health (150'/week (or 30' per day for 5days/week)) guidelines.

I agree that if the logbook is going to show some success indicator it should allow each user to set a goal time/week in the profile.

Here's a link to your UK guidelines and they are the same as USA saying for Vigorous 75 minutes/week, for Moderate the number is 150 minutes.

The term "dim bulb" comes to mind - but then she may have been very arthritic. In that case, just the movement may have some benefit.

All of this was great stuff! I especially like the UK "printable" pdf's in a single page. I printed one of each FactSheet 3,4,5 to have arond to make copies. I have been on a "preaching" mode and these handouts will be nice to have.

The USA site explains some great details and will be good to have as a reference. All are saved in "my favorites". Thanks for the links!!!
