The MET value of 5 for cricket is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for Portland's average temperature of 46°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport involving batting, bowling, and fielding, played by two teams of eleven players. The physical demands vary by position — fast bowlers run repeatedly and generate significant upper body power, batsmen combine sprinting between wickets with powerful hitting, and fielders perform explosive sprints and diving catches. A typical cricket match involves extended periods of moderate activity interspersed with bursts of high-intensity effort, providing both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning.
