WHAT IS MET (METABOLIC ENHANCEMENT TRAINING)?
Metabolic Enhancement Training, which is what MET stands for, is strength and/or conditioning exercises performed with the intention of increasing the capacity and efficiency of the energy pathways to store and deliver energy for activity. Metabolic Enhancement Training (MET) consists of functional movements and traditional movements, as well as any exercise that gets the job done in sequences or Circuits to stimulate metabolism. MET uses integrated movements from all sports training that involve acceleration, stabilization and deceleration and improve movement ability, core strength and neuromuscular efficiency. It comes from everywhere – from the schoolyard play of children to advanced biomechanics. The human body is an incredible machine that was designed to move in multiple planes of motion and use multiple muscle groups at the same time. Our bodies are not restricted to moving on one plane of motion (i.e. weight machines), therefore, why would we solely train our bodies to move on
