PAL- physical activity level

Physical activity level is the ratio between total energy expenditure (TEE) divided by basal metabolic rate or resting metabolic rate (RMR) of the individual (PAL=TEE/RMR). In the general population, physical activity level ranges between 1.2 and 2.2-2.5. There is no sex difference in the level of physical activity. Higher PAL values can be maintained by training and supplementation of the diet with energy-dense, carbohydrate-rich formulas.
