Question

a female that has a sedentary job who does not engage in any physical activity would have which physical activity factor?

a.) 1.12

b.) 1

c.) 1.5

d.) 2

Explanation:

The Physical Activity Level (PAL) or Physical Activity factor for a person with a sedentary job and no additional physical activity is typically 1.12? Wait, no, correction: Wait, actually, for a sedentary lifestyle (sedentary job, no exercise), the physical activity factor (often used in calculating energy needs like BMR * activity factor) – wait, no, let's recall: The physical activity factor for a sedentary woman (sedentary job, no leisure-time physical activity) is around 1.12? Wait, no, maybe I confused. Wait, the options: Let's think again. Wait, the standard physical activity factors: Sedentary (little or no exercise) – for women, the activity factor can be 1.12? Wait, no, maybe the question is about the Physical Activity Level (PAL). Wait, no, let's check the options. Wait, the correct answer here: A sedentary job with no physical activity – the physical activity factor (like in the Harris - Benedict equation or similar for energy expenditure) for a sedentary person (sedentary occupation, no exercise) is typically 1.12? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, actually, the correct answer is a.) 1.12? Wait, no, wait: Wait, the physical activity factor for a sedentary individual (sedentary job, no additional physical activity) – the PAL (Physical Activity Level) for sedentary is around 1.1 - 1.2. So among the options, 1.12 (option a) is the one for a sedentary female with no physical activity. Wait, but let's confirm: The physical activity factor (PA) for a person with sedentary lifestyle (sedentary job, no exercise) is approximately 1.12 for women (or 1.1 for men? No, maybe the question's context: In some references, the physical activity factor for sedentary (sedentary job, no leisure activity) is 1.12. So the correct option is a.) 1.12.

Answer:

a.) 1.12
