The “MAX METS” measurement given at the end of the Fitness Test is a value that represents your func- tional capacity for aerobic exercise. It is expressed in METS, or metabolic units. This value factors in your body weight, but not your age or whether you are male or female.
The ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) gives some guidelines about aerobic fi tness and METS capacity1:
Functional Capacity (METS) | Fitness Level* |
1.0 – 3.9 | Poor |
4.0 – 6.9 | Low |
7.0 – 10.9 | Average |
11.0 – 13.9 | Good |
14.0 – 16.0 | High |
*for 40- year old males |
