Predictive resting metabolic rate (RMR) equations are widely used to determine total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). However, it remains unclear whether these predictive RMR equations accurately predict TDEE in the athletic populations. This study published by the European Journal of Sport Science...

feurer _ RMR predictor of successDownload Resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured in 112 morbidly obese adults prior to elective gastric bypass surgery. The patients studied ranged from 157 to 327% of ideal body weight. Standard nutritional assessment indices (serum total protein, albumin,...

Breathing through a mouthpiece and noseclip can cause some patients anxiety, which may lead to hyperventilation and influence the results of a resting metabolic rate measurement. This study examines the usefulness of practice as a way to minimize these effects. The conclusion indicates that variab...

Achieving optimal weight outcomes for patients with obesity is important to the management of their chronic disease. All interventions present risks for weight regain. Bariatric surgery is the most efficacious treatment, producing greater weight losses that are sustained over more time compared to ...
