METs table

A METs table, or Metabolic Equivalent of Task table, measures the energy expenditure of various physical activities. One MET represents the energy used while at rest. The table lists activities along with their corresponding MET values, indicating how many times more energy an activity requires compared to resting. For example, sitting quietly has a MET value of 1, while running may have a MET value of 8 or higher, meaning it uses eight times more energy than sitting. This table helps individuals understand the intensity of different exercises and plan their physical activities accordingly for fitness or health goals.
