WHAT IS A RESTING METABOLIC RATE TEST?
THE SCIENCE BEHIND RMR TESTING
The gold standard for any health and fitness goal involving weight management, is the resting metabolic rate test or RMR, using an indirect calorimeter. During this RMR test, the air you exhale is analyzed to determine how efficiently your body converts food (calories) into energy. Because of the direct relationship between oxygen consumption and calories burned, the RMR test is an extremely valuable tool for weight management. After completing the test, an exact target calorie zone will be set to ensure weight loss, maintenance, or gain, depending on your goals. You will also be given personal strategies on how to maximize your metabolism, as well as a general health appraisal.
