What is the Bruce Protocol Mets Calculator & How does it work?

The Bruce Protocol is a treadmill test used to assess an individual’s aerobic capacity. It involves increasing the incline and speed of the treadmill at regular intervals, typically every three minutes. The METs (Metabolic Equivalent Tasks) value indicates how much oxygen you consume relative to sitting quietly.

METs = frac{13.034 + 0.380 times (text{speed}) + 0.6307 times (text{grade})}{0.5}
var = meaning
speed = treadmill speed in miles per hour
grade = treadmill incline percentage

This formula helps athletes and fitness enthusiasts understand their aerobic capacity and adjust their training regimens accordingly.
