METs to milliliters of oxygen per kg per minute
Type a value in MET to get it in mL/kg/min instantly.
28mL/kg/min
That's 1.33× as hard as cycling at a steady pace, while running a 10-minute mile is 1.23× harder. An hour of that burns about 560 kcal for a 70 kg person.
Convert the other way: mL/kg/min to MET
What it means
How hard is that?
Calorie figures are for a 70 kg person and assume a normal mixed diet. Real energy cost varies with fitness, technique and body composition.
The math
How to convert MET to mL/kg/min
To convert METs to milliliters of oxygen per kg per minute, multiply by 3.5.
Example: 8 MET × 3.5 = 28 mL/kg/min.
In the other direction, 1 mL/kg/min = 0.285714 MET.
