The cost of time is the major determinant of the cost of exercise, but increasing intensity of exercise provides an approach to reduce the time costs of a given amount of exercise. This paper examines the choice of mode f exercise from this perspective of producing exercise in the context of high time costs. Our results suggest that increasing the intensity of exercise is an important response to higher time costs.
