The MET value of 3.5 for painting walls is sourced from the Compendium of Physical Activities. The climate factor of 1.03 accounts for Bend's average temperature of 47°F. Research shows that exercising in non-neutral temperatures increases energy expenditure as the body works to maintain its core temperature.
Painting walls involves rolling, brushing, reaching overhead, bending, and moving around a room — activities that collectively provide a moderate physical workout. Overhead painting engages the shoulders and arms significantly, while cutting in edges requires core stability and fine motor control. A full room painting project can last several hours, resulting in considerable total calorie expenditure. The frequent position changes from standing, crouching, and climbing ladders add variety to the physical demands.
