METs (metabolic equivalents) Calculator
METs Calculator: Explanation and Clinical Context Metabolic equivalent, or MET, is a standardized physiological measure used to estimate the energy cost of physical activities. One MET represents the resting oxygen consumption of approximately 3.5 ml per kilogram per minute. This value corresponds to the average resting metabolic rate of an adult. METs are derived directly from peak oxygen consumption, allowing clini
