    METS

    Den metabola ekvivalenten av uppgiften (MET) är det objektiva måttet på förhållandet mellan den hastighet med vilken en person expanderar energi i förhållande till personens massa, medan han utför viss specifik fysisk aktivitet jämfört med en referens, fastställd av konventionen till 3,5 ml syre per kilogram per minut, vilket motsvarar ungefär den energi som förbrukas när du sitter tyst.
