Day 014 - 20 Jul 94 - Page 27
1 A. Yes, certainly.
2 Q. If I run up downstairs I burn off my energy?
A. Yes, indeed.
3
Q. I might need more to replace it; is that how it works?
4 A. Yes, of course.
5 Q. I know it is obvious to you. Can we turn, first of all,
to page 24, paragraph 2.3.9. I am not going to read it
6 out, but do we find at 2.3.9 a definition or description
of what is meant by "Physical Activity Level"? It runs on
7 from there.
A. Yes.
8
Q. I want you to look at the table at the bottom of that page
9 24, table 2.3?
A. Yes.
10
Q. Do we see that it works in two ways? Take the middle --
11 there are three categories in the vertical volume going
downwards and three categories in the horizontal column,
12 yes?
A. Yes.
13
Q. The horizontal column is the level of occupational
14 activity and the vertical column is the level of
non-occupational activity.
15 A. Yes.
16 Q. So can we see, for example, that for a moderately active
person out of work, when he is at home, or whatever, who
17 is also moderately active at work, he is attributed a PAL
of 1.7?
18 A. Yes.
19 Q. If he is a woman or she is a woman a PAL of 1.6?
A. Yes.
20
Q. Can you turn over the page, please, to page 27 where we
21 get to table 2.7?
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So they vary only between 1.4 and 1.----
23 MR. RAMPTON: 1.9, my Lord, it goes up to.
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: 1.9 is the highest. A male with a
non-active non-occupational activity and a light
25 occupational activity would be 1.4, and a man with a very
active non-occupational activity and a moderate to heavy
26 occupational activity would be 1.9?
A. That is right, yes.
27
Q. The rest is just keeping the body going, come what may, is
28 it, in simple terms?
A. That will be the one.
29
Q. That is the one?
30 A. Yes.
