Examples of activities reported by adolescents with type 2 diabetes and the associated MET

Organized activity	MET	Number reporting	Average MET min/week/person	Average min/week/person	% participation
Gym class	6.0	73	1294	216	45
Volleyball	5.2	41	1327	255	25
Ice hockey	8.0	43	637	80	26
Soccer	8.4	27	1391	166	16
Basketball	7.3	50	1323	181	30

MET is metabolic equivalent, which is a measure of the metabolic cost associated with the activity: 1 MET=3.5 mL/kg/min.

Number reporting is the number of participants in the cohort that recalled participating in that form of organized physical activity.
