Frequently Asked Questions
What is a MET value?▾
MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) is the ratio of active metabolic rate to resting metabolic rate. A MET of 8 means 8× your resting calorie burn. Formula: Calories = MET × weight (kg) × hours.
Why does weight affect calories burned?▾
Heavier people burn more calories doing the same activity because it takes more energy to move a larger mass. A 90 kg person burns significantly more than a 60 kg person at the same intensity.
How accurate are these estimates?▾
MET-based calculations are estimates (±15-20%). Actual burn depends on fitness level, terrain, age and individual metabolism. Heart rate monitors are more accurate for individuals.
