H29 Basal Metabolic Rate
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) refers to body metabolism as measured under a set of standard basal conditions designed to minimize the effects of as many influencing factors as possible.
Experimental Objectives
-
To obtain Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) values from a subject.
-
To compare this rate to standardized rate.
-
To measure post-exercise metabolic rate and compare it to BMR.
Tasks Performed by the Student
- Sit, relax, and breathe normally
-
Perform medium-to-strenuous exercise (i.e., running in place)
-
Relax in an inclined position
-
Breathe normally

Lesson Hardware
Important! Required equipment varies based on the BSL software version, MP unit, and setup option used for recording --> GASSYS3 is the currently shipping Gas Analysis Module. The lesson can also be recorded using an older GASSYS2 with module-specific template and instructions. Please download and check the appropriate Lesson Procedure (PDF) for your specific setup. Typical hardware may include but is not limited to the following...
