No, it is not a member of a professional sporting team.  MET is the acronym for Metabolic EquvalenT.  1 MET is the energy consumed by the body at rest.  For example sitting at home reading the paper would consume 1 MET while playing soccer consumes 7 METS.  For a better understanding of how your activities corelates to Metabolic Equivalents please see this chart.
