Question: 1 / 445

What is the conversion factor for MET to calories?

1 MET = 1 kcal/min

1 MET = 1 kcal/kg/min

1 MET = 1 kcal/kg/hr

The conversion factor for MET to calories is 1 kcal/kg/hr. This means that for every 1 MET of energy expenditure, a person burns 1 calorie per kilogram of body weight per hour. The other options are incorrect because they do not match this conversion rate. Option A suggests that 1 MET is equivalent to 1 calorie per minute, which is much faster than the correct conversion rate. Option B suggests that the conversion factor involves the person's weight in kilograms, rather than just their body weight. Option D also includes the person's weight in the conversion factor, but it calculates the calories burned per minute rather than per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
