What does MET stand for?

  1. Muscular Energy Technique

  2. Metabolic Equivalent

  3. Maximum Energy Threshold

  4. Metabolic Energy Transfer

The correct answer is: Metabolic Equivalent

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent. Option A, Muscular Energy Technique, is a type of manual therapy and not a term typically used in exercise science. Option C, Maximum Energy Threshold, is not a commonly used term and does not accurately describe MET. Option D, Metabolic Energy Transfer, does not accurately reflect the meaning of MET, which is a measurement of the amount of energy expended during physical activity in relation to resting metabolic rate. Therefore, option B, Metabolic Equivalent, is the correct and most commonly used term for MET.
