Recumbent Bike Met Calculator

Introduction & Importance

Recumbent bike MET calculator is an essential tool for fitness enthusiasts and athletes to determine their metabolic equivalents (METs) while using a recumbent bike. METs help understand the intensity of physical activities and their impact on your body.

For more information on METs, visit the CDC’s Physical Activity Guidelines and the METs research paper by Ainsworth et al.

What are METs?

METs, or metabolic equivalents, represent the amount of oxygen consumed while sitting at rest. One MET is roughly 3.5 ml O2 per kg of body weight per minute.
