  1. met

    MET stands for metabolic equivalent and is a unit used to estimate the energy expenditure of physical activities. 1 MET is equivalent to the amount of energy expended by an individual at rest. It is commonly used in exercise physiology and is used to compare the intensity of different activities. For example, an activity with 2 METs would require twice as much energy as resting, while an activity with 5 METs would require five times the energy expenditure of resting. MET values are used to assess the intensity and overall energy expenditure of physical activities for individuals of different fitness levels and body sizes.
