🧠 What Are METs?

MET stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task — a simple yet powerful way to measure how much energy someone uses during activity.

• 1 MET = the energy your body uses at rest (sitting quietly).
• 3 METs = moderate activity (like walking or light cycling).
• 6+ METs = vigorous activity (like running or HIIT training).

In short: the higher the MET value, the more effort (and calories) your client is expending.

⚙️ Why METs Matter in Coaching

Many coaches already track steps, calories, or heart rate — but METs add context that helps interpret how a client’s activity contributes to their overall health, recovery, and performance.

With Ownership.Health, you can see not just what clients did, but how it impacts their physiology.

Here’s how MET tracking helps:

• 📈 Measure activity intensity across all workouts and daily movement.
• ⚖️ Balance load and recovery by comparing MET trends with HRV and sleep data.
• 🎯 Personalize goals — whether it’s fat loss, endurance, or longevity.
• ⏱️ Coach smarter — spotting when clients are overtraining or under-recovering.

📊 How Ownership.Health Uses METs

Ownership.Health pulls data from multiple wearables and translates it into clear, coach-ready insights.

Instead of isolated numbers, you get:

• MET trends over time — daily, weekly, or monthly summaries.
• Activity breakdowns — understand how each workout contributes to total energy output.
• Recovery correlation — how MET load affects HRV, sleep, and mood.
• Custom insights — AI highlights when a client’s workload is rising faster than recovery.

💡 Example: A client’s MET average jumps 25% in one week, but HRV drops and sleep debt grows. → Ownership.Health flags a potential overload. → You adjust training intensity and improve long-term adherence.

That’s not just data — that’s actionable intelligence.

🏋️‍♀️ Use Case: Coaching for Sustainable Progress

Imagine two clients:

• Client A does 10K steps a day but sits most of the time.
• Client B gets the same steps but mixes in 20 minutes of cycling (6 METs).

Both move — but only one meaningfully improves cardiovascular load and calorie burn. Ownership.Health quantifies that difference, helping coaches make more precise, impactful recommendations.

🔐 Privacy-First, Insight-Driven

Like all metrics in Ownership.Health, MET data is:

• Collected securely
• Shared only with client consent
• Used to empower better decisions, not sell data

Clients own their information; coaches gain clarity to guide smarter, safer progress.

🚀 The Takeaway

METs turn “movement” into measurable value. Ownership.Health turns that value into personalized, real-time coaching power.

By tracking METs alongside HRV, sleep, mood, and nutrition, you don’t just see how much your clients move — you see how it all connects.
