4.1.2 Fitness METs level

en

Fitness METs (metabolic equivalents) value shows how much energy your body is able to consume compared to the energy consumption at rest. Roughly, the better your fitness level, the higher your maximum MET value is. Suunto t6d suggests a default fitness METS level, but if you know your real METs, you should use that value.

NOTE: The maximum performance capacity measured in a laboratory test is sometimes given as ml oxygen/kg/min (VO2 max). If you want to compare the maximum performance capacity calculated by the program in METs to your measured VO2 max, use the relation 1 MET = 3.5 ml/min/kg.
