cal/hr
Metabolic Equivalent - Relates to the user's energy expenditure. A MET is a basic
unit of measurement that is used to compare relative work between individuals and
activities. One MET is the amount of oxygen an individual consumes at rest. For
example two mets would be twice that amount. If an individual were working at four
mets
METs he/she would be consuming oxygen at a rate equal to four times their rest-
ing consumption. METs can be used to compare walking on a grade with running or
even to cycling and other activities. See The Workout Profile in this chapter for more
information.
