The day-to-day reliability of resting metabolic rate
… was to determine the day-to-day reliability of resting metabolic rate. 18 college students, (mean age 22 +/- 3.6 yrs, height 65.78 +/- 22.0 in., body mass 68.05 +/- 10.34 kg, percent body fat 23 +/- 6.5%) gave informed consent to participate in the study. RMR was measured on four separate days …

The Relationship between Resting Metabolic Rate and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Obesity
OBJECT: Resting metabolic rate (RMR) poses the largest portion in daily energy expenditure. After adjusting height and weight, progression towards obesity is less in higher RMR group than the lower ones. Based on the theory that obesity has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, we studied …

The Effects of Exercise Training on Resting Metabolic Rate in Youth with Overweight or Obesity
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the largest component in energy expenditure and is often reduced with weight loss. Exercise training has been shown to attenuate RMR reductions in adults. However, little is known about the effects of exercise training and body composition changes on RMR in youth …

Influence of cyclic changes in ovarian hormones on resting metabolic rate and appetite in women
… contraceptive (HC) users; investigate whether resting metabolic rate (RMR) significantly changed throughout the MC in NC women and in HC users; explore the association between RMR and the ovarian hormones; and investigate whether appetite responses to the same breakfast changed throughout the …

Effect of Single vs Accumulated Bouts of Exercise on Body Composition, Fitness, and Resting Metabolic Rate
… exercise on body composition, fitness, and resting metabolic rate. Nine healthy male (n=4) and female (n = 5) volunteers were randomized into either an accumulated intervention group consisting of two bouts of exercise per day, a continuous intervention group consisting of one bout exercise …

Individual Resting Metabolic Rate and Nutrition Education: Does This Knowledge Lead individuals into Making Healthier Lifestyle Choices?
… kg/m2) and only 20% participate in regular moderate activity. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine whether college students make healthier lifestyle choices after receiving information on individual resting metabolic rate and nutrition education. Subjects: Forty Georgia Southern …

The Relationship Between Lean Body Mass, Resting Metabolic Rate, and Peak Oxygen Consumption in Spinal Cord-Injured and Able-Bodied Individuals
… (BMC), mineral free lean tissue mass (MFL), resting metabolic rate (RMR), and peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) and to examine the appropriateness of AB equations for the prediction of RMR in paraplegic and quadriplegic individuals. The study involved a total of 50 participants (10 male …

The effect of resistive exercise on resting metabolic rate, lean body weight, and percent fat during caloric restriction in obese females
… increased food efficiency and alterations in resting metabolic rate (RMR). The RMR has been shown to be reduced after weight reduction and it is believed that a benefit of exercise training is an adaptive increase in lean body weight (LBW) with a concurrent decrease in excess body fat. Since …

Alterations in the macronutrient content of the diet and the effects on body composition, cardiovascular disease risk and the control of energy metabolism in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Several studies have shown that a low-carbohydrate diet (LCHOD) can improve glycaemic control in people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The objective of the current study was to compare two ways of administration of a LCHOD - self-prepared meals versus ready-made meals. The study examined …

The effect of anaerobic exercise on the thermic effect of food
… is the increment in energy expenditure above resting metabolic rate associated with the cost of absorption, metabolism, and storage of food. Previous studies have shown that TEF is enhanced by aerobic exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine if a similar effect occurs with …

Effects of a 500 mile backpacking through hike on the performance of a competitive powerlifter: An observational case study
… body composition, bone mineral density, VO2 max, resting metabolic rate, blood lipids, strength in squat, bench press, and deadlift, vertical leap, muscular endurance in pull ups, resting heart rate, and resting blood pressure. These variables were measured before and after the 34 day hike. …

A Comparison of the Effects of Interval Training vs. Continuous Training on Weight Loss and Body Composition in Obese Pre-Menopausal Women.
… VO<sub>2</sub>max, body composition, and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured pre and post training. RMR was measured after exercise at week 2 to see if intensity levels affected RMR. VO<sub>2</sub>max and body composition improved in IT but not in ST. Neither group showed a change …

A comparison of resting metabolic rates among cardiovascular fit, muscularly fit, and sedentary men
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) was studied in 29 cardiovascularly-trained (CV), resistance-trained (WT), and sedentary men (Sed) between the ages of 18 and 35 years. The hypothesis was that CV (n = 9) and WT (n = 10) would have higher resting metabolic rates than Sed (n = 10). RMR was measured by …

GROWING, BUILDING AND REPAING ELITE RUGBY PLAYERS: Nutritional and Energetic Considerations
… the aim of third study (Chapter 6) was to assess resting metabolic rate and total energy expenditure of six elite RL players over two consecutive weeks in-season including one-match per week. Fasted resting metabolic rate was assessed, followed by a baseline urine sample before oral administration …

Seasonal Energetics of the Cotton Rat (Sigmon Hispidus) From Southwest Missouri
To determine what strategies the cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) may employ to survive harsh winters, monthly (June, 1988 through January, 1990) measurements of metabolic rates, nonshivering thermogenesis (NST), thermal conductance, and body mass were made. In addition, serum thyroxine (T₄) levels …

Biology of the Porcupine (Erethizon Dorsatum) in northwestern South Dakota
… habits, cover preferences, population dynamics, metabolic rates, growth rates, and taxonomic characteristics were determined for porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) in northwestern South Dakota. The summer home ranges were 158.2 ha for adult females, 90.4 ha for juveniles, and 57.9 ha for adult …

What goes down need not go back up: decreasing the biological drive toward weight regain by increasing energy flux
… loss is the experience of most obese dieters. Metabolic adjustments characterized by decreased resting metabolic rate (RMR) and increased hunger can prevent long-term success. Possibly this energy gap could be attenuated by a high flux (HF) state (higher expenditure coupled with higher intake). …
