Does anyone know the Metabolic Equivalents (METs) for the Youth Physical Activity Questionnaire (Y-PAQ)? I was able to find most, but not all, of the physical activities on website of the Compendium of Physical Activities.
However, a few activities (e.g., netball) are missing, and I wonder whether anyone has a list of the METs for each activity on Y-PAQ.

I hope this helps.

You might find the newly updated Youth Compendium of PA useful - but unfortunately it does not include a MET value for NetBall https://www.nccor.org/tools-youthcompendium/
Ridley et al international Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity20085:45 https://doi.org/10.1186/1479-5868-5-45
give values for netball ranging from 7.2 to 10.1 depending on effort in appendix one

Thanks Vitor Luiz de Andrade and David Berrigan. It seems as though some activities still do not have defined MET values. Sunday O. Onagbiye , you may find most of the MET values here: https://sites.google.com/site/compendiumofphysicalactivities/home
More information about the use of YPAQ can be found here: http://www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Website-YPAQ-and-CPAQ-outcome-derivation.pdf
