What is a met - in terms of physical energy expenditure?


can anyone tell me the average weight for a child who is 27 months old?



Answers:
The ratio of the metabolic rate of the average person while seated and resting, to the metabolic rate of a particular person while performing some task. The symbol MET comes from metabolic equivalents of task. It is commonly used in medicine to express metabolic rates measured during a treadmill test. Two definitions of the MET are met with, essentially equivalent:

1 MET is equivalent to a metabolic rate consuming 3.5 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute.
1 MET is equivalent to a metabolic rate consuming 1 kilocalorie per kilogram of body weight per hour.
