- Abstract
This paper presents two accelerometer-based metabolic equivalent (MET) estimation methods: 1) MET regression models estimation; and 2) a mono-exponential MET estimation equation. The MET estimation methods can predict MET for the following seven categories of activities: sitting, standing, walking upstairs, walking downstairs, level walking, running, and cycling. The intensity of these activities ranged from sedentary ( 1.5 METs) to vigorous (> 6 METs), where 1 MET is equivalent to the metabolic rate associated with sitting. First, MET regression model estimations were developed, including a single MET regression model and multiple MET regression models. Then, the second estimation method, a mono-exponential MET estimation equation, was developed to enhance estimation accuracy in non-steady and steady states during exercise. The experimental results successfully validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the mono-exponential MET estimation equation, which substantially ameliorates estimation errors in non-steady states and achieves satisfactory accuracy for both non-steady and steady states.
