Understanding MET Values

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task. It's a way to measure the energy cost of a physical activity.

  • 1 MET is the energy you use when you're resting or sitting quietly.
  • An activity with a MET value of 4 means you're using 4 times the energy than you do at rest.
  • This calculator uses formulas from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and other sources to provide a more personalized estimate than a generic list.
  • Calories Burned is an estimate and can vary based on individual factors like body composition, age, and gender.
