Detailed Description
This is a measurement of the rate at which metabolic processes occur to support body tissues and break down fuel sources for energy. This is measured by indirect calorimetry, a process that involves wearing breathing apparatus to analyse types of fuel being used during rest. Resting metabolic rate is an important marker in relation to weight management and can be utilised with other markers to prescribe estimations of appropriate calorie intake.
