Abstract

The HR-MET provides a valid and accurate method for estimating metabolic rate during military activities based on HR that can be further optimized with the inclusion of cardiometabolic fitness parameters. This combination of laboratory accuracy and field applicability of the HR-MET can advance readiness, safety, and performance across recreational, occupational, athletic, and military domains.
