The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...
NEAT includes physical activity at the workplace, hobbies, standing instead of sitting, walking around, climbing stairs, doing chores, and fidgeting. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Besides differences in body composition, it represents most of the variation in energy expenditure across individuals and populations, accounting from 6-10 percent to as much as 50 ...
Sitting for more than 10 hours per day increased both cardiovascular and orthostatic disease risk. For every hour of sitting above 10 hours, cardiovascular disease risk increased by 15%, and ...
30 minutes: 127 calories. 1 hour: 255 calories. Walking at a Fast Pace (4-5 mph) 15 minutes: 120 calories. 30 minutes: 245 calories. 1 hour: 485 calories. Walking Uphill (3.5 mph) 15 minutes: 115 ...
Researchers from the University of Milan found when people walked in stints of 10 to 30 seconds, with breaks in between, they used more energy and burned more calories than continuously walking ...
For example, two individuals with different measures of VO 2 max, running at 7 mph are running at the same absolute intensity (miles/hour) but a different relative intensity (% of VO 2 max expended). The individual with the higher VO 2 max is running at a lower intensity at this pace than the individual with the lower VO 2 max is. [3]

In overweight individuals, 7–9 months of low-intensity exercise (walking ~19 km per week at 40–55% VO2peak) significantly increased cardiorespiratory fitness compared to sedentary individuals. Together these data indicate that exercise interventions decrease the risk or severity of CVD in subjects who are lean, obese, or have type 2 diabetes.
