During the Test
METS Formula (Metabolic Equivalents)
Treadmill
Bicycle Ergometer
Between two stages, the METS value will be interpolated. The correct
METS value of a stage is reached after a stage time of 60 seconds (default
value, can be changed, see section “Miscellaneous 1 Tab” on page 12-24).
METS =
(speed x 26.8 x 0.1) + (grade/100 x 1.8 x speed x 26.8) + 3.5
3.5
speed = miles per hour
grade = percent
METS =
(speed x 0.1) + (grade/100 x 1.8 x speed) +
3.5
3.5
speed = meters per minute
grade = percent
METS =
12.3 x load + 3.5 x weight
weight x 3.5
load = Watt
weight = kg
