Understanding METs: How to Gauge Your Exercise Intensity

Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) is a unit to estimate the energy expended during activities, expressing exercise intensity. One MET represents the energy cost of resting, at an oxygen uptake of 3.5 ml/kg/min. This baseline helps quantify exertion levels for activity comparison and exercise planning. Activities rated in METs guide caloric expenditure estimates and cardiovascular demands, aiding in personalized fitness goals.
