What activity level does the White Flag denote?

• A. No exertion
• B. Light exertion
• C. Caution in performing extremely intense physical exertion
• D. Maximum exertion

Answer: (C)

In this signaling system, colors map to how hard you should push during activity. The White Flag means you should exercise with caution and avoid extremely intense exertion. It sits above comfortable or moderate effort but stops short of maximum effort, signaling that you can continue activity but must limit intensity and monitor for any warning signs. This helps protect individuals who may have risk factors or symptoms from pushing to a level that could trigger adverse events. So the White Flag best fits a cautious approach to very hard effort rather than complete rest, light effort, or maximal effort.
