What is accepted to be the resting metabolic rate, represented by MET?

  1. 1.0ml of oxygen per kilogram of body mass per minute

  2. 3.5ml of oxygen per kilogram of body mass per minute

  3. 5.0ml of oxygen per kilogram of body mass per minute

  4. 10.0ml of oxygen per kilogram of body mass per minute

Therefore, the only correct and accepted value for the resting metabolic rate is 3.5ml of
