What is Resting Metabolic Rate Testing?

Understanding this switchboard unveils the road to a healthier self.
Metabolism churns the food we eat into energy, known as calories. This testing is a measurement of how efficiently the body turns calories into energy. Moreover, each person possesses a unique metabolic rate. Factors such as a person’s weight, age, body composition, hormone levels, and gender, cause this uniqueness.
Every calorie a person consumes requires a fixed amount of oxygen to be converted into energy, resting metabolic rate testing allows the athlete to know how hard to work and how much oxygen to take in to burn calories. In general, modern science has shed light on the role oxygen plays in calorie consumption. It’s essential that the athlete accounts for oxygen intake and metabolic rate to successfully lose weight or sculpt mass.
