    I don't play basketball but would consider that active not lightly active.

    Every single day? Once a week?

    I think it would be easier to set an activity level based on your regular activities and then log any exercise (like basketball) that you do on top of that.

    Unless basketball is your job.

    "active" vs. "lightly active" vs. "sedentary" refer to your overall day, not specific activities you might do for an hour a day.

    "Active" might describe a construction worker
    "lightly active" a teacher who is on his/her feet all day
    "sedentary" an accountant who sits at his/her desk all day.

    Specfic exercise/workouts should be accounted for separately as you do them.

    If it was OP job then this thread would not exist from the OP.

    OP you are missing so much information. For example, full court or half court for an hour?

    Confession: I did not seriously think that OP was a professional basketball player.

    Just add it as exercise and be done with it. Set your activity level to how you live sans the basketball - and other exercise type stuff.

    well, if you're James Harden it would be highly active (offense) sedentary (defense).
    ....I jest - I know he's improved his D considerably this year.
