how to convert accelerometer data to metabolic equivalents(METS)??

hi all i would like to ask if how do i convert accelerometer data to metabolic equivalents(METS)??

by the way I am using this formula:

[B]Total Calories Burned[/B] = Duration (in minutes) X (MET X 3.5 X weight in kg)/200

i got that formula from this site http://www.exercise4weightloss.com/calories-burned-during-exercise.html"

what i want to do is convert XYZ data to METS equivalent so that i can substitute it to METS variable in the formula above..
example if i have this data:

x: 202
y: 215
z: 5

what is the formula? I search on www but i didn't get what i need.. ;(

I knew that it is now accurate but it doesn't matter..
pls give me some idea. IM totally bad in math and physics... hehe thanks

The problem is that there isn't a direct equivalent. You'll just have to look up the activity you were doing on a table, and use that value.
