If the Up Staircase just struggling, When Love must be beaten

Sex is not a minor activity as it requires large amounts of oxygen consumption. For comparison, the new person can be said to fit to have sex if able to climb 20 stairs without panting.

Serious or not an activity is determined from the value of Metabolic Equivalent Task (MET), ie the amount of energy used to do it. The bigger the MET value, the greater the energy needed so that these activities can be spelled more severe.

In more technical terms, MET also is defined as the sum total consumption of oxygen (O2) that is required to perform an activity for 1 minute. Every 1 MET is equivalent to oxygen consumption of 3.5 mL / kg body weight / min.



Sex expert Tarumanegara University, Dr. Andrew Wanananda MS said that the MET during sex ranged from 2-4 with the highest level attained during orgasm. Another activity that can be synchronized is walking or climbing stairs at medium speed.

Other activities such as running faster on top speed of 6.5 km / h has a MET to 13, so that it can be said sex was not more severe than this sport. Even sex is still much lighter than the bike with a speed of 15 km / h which MET was between 6-7.

"People considered sexual conduct with a secure fit when able to walk a mile in 15 minutes or 20 children are able to climb stairs without pain in the chest or excessive panting," said Dr Andrew as quoted from his writings, on Monday (06/06/2011) .

To perform strenuous activity with high MET, it takes a healthy lung to ensure adequate oxygen supply to muscles. If the ability of the lungs are not balanced, it can trigger chest pain and shortness of breath or the worst heart attack.
