Standard metabolic equivalent
The measure of the amount of oxygen used by the body during physical activity is called VO2 max. VO2 max is the maximum volume of oxygen that a person can utilize during intense exercise. It is often used as an indicator of aerobic fitness.
The measure of the amount of oxygen used by the body during physical activity is called VO2 max. It is a common indicator of aerobic fitness and represents the maximum rate at which the body can consume oxygen during exercise. VO2 max is influenced by factors such as genetics, age, sex, and training status.
The measure of the amount of oxygen used by the body during physical activity is known as VO2 max. It represents the maximum volume of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense exercise and is a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. Higher VO2 max values typically indicate better physical fitness and performance potential in endurance sports.

Watts and METs are both units used to measure energy expenditure during physical activity, but they measure it in different ways. Watts measure the power output of an activity, while METs measure the intensity of an activity relative to resting metabolic rate. Watts are an absolute measure of energy expenditure, while METs are a relative measure based on an individual's metabolic rate.
Oxygen debt is not a condition but rather a medical term that refers to the amount of oxygen that is lost during intense physical activity and needs to be replenished. This loss or debt of oxygen is replenished by heavy breathing that occurs during intense physical activity or when the physical activity ceases.
"METS" stands for Metabolic Equivalent of Task, which is a unit used to measure the intensity of physical activities. It represents the amount of energy expended during an activity compared to resting. One MET is equivalent to the energy expended while sitting quietly. By assigning MET values to different activities, individuals can gauge the intensity of their physical activity and make informed decisions about their exercise routine.

During physical activity, we sweat the most on areas of our body with a high concentration of sweat glands, such as the forehead, armpits, and back.
