We obtain two-sided bounds on kinetic and potential energies of a bound state of a quantum particle in the semiclassical limit, as the Planck constant $\hbar\ri 0$. Proofs of these results rely on the generalized virial theorem obtained in the paper as well as on a decay of eigenfunctions in the classically forbidden region.
