Exercise is Medicine® On Campus is an initiative sponsored by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) that promotes physical activity as a vital sign of health. As an ACSM Gold Level recognized campus, MUSC encourages faculty, staff and students to work together toward improving the health and well-being of the campus community by:

• Connecting university health care providers with university fitness specialists to provide a referral system for exercise prescription

• Providing MUSC students with the tools necessary to optimize healthy lifestyle habits for effective self care and the care of patients/populations they serve

• Making movement a part of the daily campus culture by offering resources and opportunities for physical activity
The ACSM (and CDC) National Fitness Guidelines recommend that all healthy adults aged 18-65 should participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week.

Below is a brief physical activity assessment that allows you to reflect on your current levels of physical activity. Completing the assessment will also make you eligible for a free fitness consultation with a certified fitness professional at the MUSC Wellness Center.

Participation in this program (i.e. assessment and/or consultation) is entirely voluntary. You will not be contacted at any time in regards to your responses without explicit permission. EIM-OC MUSC and is facilitated by the MUSC Wellness Center in partnership with the Office of Health Promotion, Student Health Services, and Student Counseling and Psychological Services.

1. How many days in an average week do you engage in physical activity of moderate intensity?

Activities of moderate intensity are measured by how heart rate and breathing are affected. Typically, an average adult performs moderate activity at 50-60% of their max heart rate, and the activity can be performed while talking but not singing. Examples include:

• Leisurely walking or biking
• Recreational or lower intensity sports
• Slower paced dancing
• Gardening, light yard work or home cleaning
• Low impact aerobic exercise
• Any activity of equal exertion

4. How many days in an average week do you engage in physical activities of vigorous intensity?

Activities of vigorous intensity are measured by how heart rate and breathing are affected. Typically, an average adult performs vigorous activity at 70-85% of their max heart rate, and they would not speak more than a few words without pausing for a breath. Examples include:

• Running, jogging or hiking
• Swimming laps
• Competitive or higher intensity sports (basketball, soccer, tennis)

• Weight training or carrying heavy loads
• High impact circuit exercise
