Weight Management & Resting Metabolic Rate
Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the minimum energy expenditure your body uses each day to function.
Everybody is different and everybody uses different amounts of energy based on body size, muscle mass, gender, genetics etc.
Knowing your RMR allows you to accurately plan your diet scientifically to lose weight, maintain weight, or build lean muscle mass.
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
You sit down and completely relax for 20 minutes while breathing into a mask which measures your oxygen consumption.
Data relating to your energy expenditure is collected (sampling happens every second) via the face mask VO2 analyser and wahoo heart rate strap.
The following metabolic, gas exchange and ventilation measures are collected:
- VO2.
- HR and HRV.
- Ve, Rf and Tv.
- FeO2(%) and Ve/Vo2.
Your resting (and daily) energy expenditure is then accurately determined.
WHAT YOU GET:
- A personalised 4 page metabolic report providing objective measures of:
- Resting Energy Expenditure.
- Metabolism %.
- Heart Rate Variability.
- BMI and Resting HR.
- Caloric Balance to achieve goal weight.
- An easy to understand interpretation of your results.
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?
In order to achieve accurate results, prior to testing you must:
- fast for at least 4 hours.
- Avoid caffeine and other stimulants that day.
- Avoid intense exercise that day, and try to limit exercise the day of the test.
By accurately testing RMR, you’ll gain the information and insight needed to develop an effective and customised weight management programs.
The hard data you need to truly achieve your weight management goals for performance or health.
