II t is often desirable to estimate energy expen-. diture during varioustypesof physicalactivi-ties. The following table provides a means of comput-ing an estimated energy expenditure Iper minute!using both the individual's body weight and the num-ber of metabolic equivalents IMETSI required to per-form the activity Specifically, one MET is equal to0017'5 kcal . kg-I. min-I Therefore, the formula tocompute caloric expenditure during physical activity is

Energy expenditure (kcal per minI = 0.017,)kcal
