EQUIVALENT MET LEVEL:
Metabolic equivalents (METs) are used to compare the energy cost of various activities to the resting state. Various activities can be assigned MET levels to reflect the approximate amount of energy that may be expended performing that activity. Individual variability plays a role in how an activity is accomplished, thus effecting the amount of energy used to perform that activity. MET levels, therefore, should be considered guidelines. The following table provides examples of occupational activities and the approximate amount of energy (or MET):
