Understanding the MET Value

The MET value is a measure that represents the energy cost of physical activities. It is a way to estimate the amount of oxygen consumed by the body during an activity, which is related to the calories burned. The higher the MET value, the more calories are burned per hour of activity.

Example

If a person weighs 70 kg and walks for 1 hour, the calories burned would be:

Calories burned = 3.5 (MET for walking) * 70 kg * 1 hour = 245 calories
