I've added to the "memory" one: for short-term memory, using dual 1-back. No idea if I've made that one too hard....
I've also reduced the difficulty-level for the endurance one. I think "brisk walk 30min" is level 1. "run a mile" is at least level 2 as it requires some training to get there.
Whoops, didn't see your comment at first. Sorry. Replied about n-back in another comment. Also, do you think none of the tasks for level 1 should require any training? SarahC, who proposed using the ExRx scale for strength, said she had to train a little before she reached the "untrained" level.
Yes but many people will need to "train a little" to be able to walk for 30 min without stopping for a breath. Same with cooking pancakes, or programming.
I think my idiomatic phrasing of "some" is probably the problem here, so let me be more explicit. For me (and many other people), I would need to train a lot to run for a mile.
As I am in fact currently training to run, I can tell you that it has taken me two months so far to get to a stage where I can only walk/jog for twenty minutes, not yet actually run a full mile in one go. I expect to be able to do that at the end of this month.
It is not level one.
