COMPENDIUM OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES HISTORY UPDATE
(2011) Compendium of Physical Activities: a second update of codes and MET values. This Compendium of Physical Activities presents EE in terms of METs, or metabolic equivalents of task. (1991) Running tops the weight loss league. (2011) published a compendium of energy expenditure (EE) values for adults, and it has been updated twice since then. To estimate the number of calories, you burn in a one-hour session, enter your weight, select your gender, enter the MET value for the activity and then select the Calculate button. aġ20lb female athlete undertaking an hour of callisthenics (MET=4.5) will burn 225Ĭalories (120 × 10 ÷ 24 × 4.5). To do this, multiply your BMR by the activity's MET value, e.g. Is possible to estimate the number of calories you burn while participating. With your BMR and the MET value for your particular activity, it (2011), can be found on the Compendium of Physical Activities website. ActivityĪ more up to date list of activities and MET intensities, Ainsworth et al. The table below (Walker 1991) provides the MET values for several activities. 2011 Compendium categories in blue are activities with MET values supported in published literature. of providing students with health information and physical activity. Two hundred seventeen new codes were added, 68 (561/821) of which have measured MET values. Physical and health education have a long history in school systems but programs. For example, the energy cost of playing rugby is 8.3 METS, which means you use 8.3 times moreĮnergy than if you were to sit quietly and rest.Ī MET can also be defined as oxygen uptake in ml/kg/min with one MET equal to the oxygen cost of sitting quietly, equivalent to 3.5 ml/kg/min. The 2011 Compendium contains 821 codes for specific activities. One MET is defined as 1 kcal/kg/hour and is roughly equivalent to the energy cost of sitting quietly. WeightĪ MET is the metabolic work rate ratio to the resting metabolic rate. To determine your BMR enter your weight, select your gender and then select the Calculate button. The Rehabilitation act of 1973 o Designed to prevent discrimination and provide equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in programs or activities. Quantitive History Questionnaireedit edit source When the objective of the researcher is to capture the physical activity patterns of participants over. Given the evidence, it is natural to ask. a 150lb man has a BMR of 69 Calories/hour (150 A large and growing body of evidence demonstrates that regular physical activity provides numerous health benefits. (Calories/day) can be estimated by multiplying your weight in pounds by ten for Number of calories to keep your body functioning while resting. Physiological functioning after 8 hours sleep and 12 hours fasting" - the Basal Metabolic Rateīasal metabolic rate (BMR) is "the energy required for essential An activity's energy cost can be measured in units called METS, multiples of your basal metabolic rate.
