Metabolic Equivalents (METs) measure the energy cost of physical activities. Physiotherapists use METs to prescribe appropriate exercise intensities and calculate caloric expenditure for rehabilitation programs.
Formula
Calories = METs × Weight (kg) × Duration (hours)
Normal Range
Light: 1.5-3 METs | Moderate: 3-6 METs | Vigorous: >6 METs
Clinical Use
Exercise prescription, cardiac rehab, caloric expenditure estimation, activity counseling.
