Mathematical Formula & Scientific Methodology
Formula: Standard Exercise MET Energy Conversion
Kcal = MET × Body Mass (kg) × HoursApplies validated sport-specific MET constants.
Model Assumptions
- Active participation for full stated duration
Variables & Standard Units
| Symbol | Physiological Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| MET | Standardized metabolic equivalent from Ainsworth Compendium | dimensionless |
Scientific Limitations
- Intermittent rest intervals in weightlifting will reduce total effective MET if rests are prolonged
