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 …

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 …

The impact of multiple acute turkesterone doses on indirect hypertrophy and metabolic measures : a preliminary investigation.
… insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and resting metabolic rate (RMR), eleven apparently healthy males volunteered to participate in the present study with samples collected pre-, 3H post-, and 24H post-ingestion. The aforementioned dependent variables were assessed using separate two-way …

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 …

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 …

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). …

Low-Protein Meal Challenge as a Predictor for Weight Loss Success in Severe Obesity
… identify weight loss resistant and susceptible metabolic phenotypes, respectively, rely on prolonged fasting and overfeeding using whole-room calorimetry assessments, which represents a substantial barrier to the prospective implementation in routine obesity care. To establish a clinically …

Health and lifestyle profiles across the lifespan: results from the Louisiana Healthy Aging Study
… test whether nonagenarians have a relatively low metabolic rate when compared to younger individuals and whether this low metabolic rate is associated with lower levels of oxidative stress and less incidence of disease. Resting metabolic rate (RMR), markers of oxidative stress to lipids, proteins, …

Digestibility of Common Forage Plants and Energetic Requirements of the Black-Tailed Prairie Dog
… of highly digestible forbs. The estimated Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) of 0.056 kcal · g-1 day-l is relatively low; 85 percent of the Basal Metabolic Rate as predicted by a metabolic body size formula. The energy cost of activity is the primary cause for the difference in RMR estimates from …

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 …

The Study of a Unique Athletic Population: Health Concerns, Interventions, and Prevention in Elite Ballet Dancers
… female dancers would have lower than expected resting metabolic rate (RMR) based upon their fat-free mass, and thus greater energetic efficiency as a result of chronic energy deficiency. As hypothesized, dancers reported a significantly lower energy intake and exhibited a lower RMR as compared …

Estimating the Cost of Locomotion in Common Bottlenose Dolphins: Calibration, Validation, and Application to Study the Impacts of Disturbance
… swim trials. I then subtracted measured resting metabolic rate (RMR) from the energy expenditure of each trial to estimate COL. I found a linear relationship between ODBA and COL. Next, I deployed tags on the same dolphins for longer periods (24 hours) and combined COL, RMR, and specific …
