Compendium of Physical Activities

The Compendium of Physical Activities is a comprehensive resource that categorizes various physical activities and assigns each one a specific metabolic equivalent (MET) value. MET values indicate the energy expenditure for different activities, helping people understand how much effort an activity involves compared to resting. This tool is useful for fitness professionals, researchers, and individuals seeking to track and compare their physical activity levels. By using the Compendium, people can make informed decisions about their exercise routines and better assess how their daily activities contribute to overall health and fitness.
