Applying METsestimated for older adults leads to potential underestimation of physical activity intensity, suggesting that current classification metrics should be revised for older adults. V˙O2Reserve is a candidate metric for establishing precise physical activity intensity cut points for older adults. Clinical Trials Registration Number: NCT04821713.
