UNDERSTAND YOUr METABOLIC HEALTH

RESTING METABOLIC RATE (RMR) TESTING

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing using the VO2 Master Pro, provides data-driven and reliable insights into your body's unique metabolic rate, helping you achieve your health and fitness goals. Essentially, it is a measure of how many calories your body burns at rest, helping to inform personalised nutrition and exercise programming.

Your RMR provides takes the guesswork out of achieving your weight and body composition goals. No more generic calculations that leave you second guessing. Metabolic testing using the VO2 Master Pro at GymTherapy is the gold standard testing or determining your RMR and understanding your metabolism.

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) testing involves:

1. In-Depth Pre-Assessment Screening & History
Pre-assessment screening to ensure we understand your metabolic goals - whether that is to lose weight, maintain or increase body weight/mass.

2. Mask Fitting
The VO2 Master Pro mask is then fitted to your face to ensure functionality and comfort.

3. RMR Testing
Our 20 minute protocol includes a calibration period followed by a measurement period. During the test, you remain seated whilst breathing at a normal respiratory rate.

4. Results Interpretation & Referral
We then discuss the results of your test, providing insights into your RMR, your metabolism (fast/slow/normal) and key caloric values. Then, if you already have a trainer/coach/nutritionist, we provide a copy of the report to them so they can use as to enhance your nutrition and training.

5. Support & Guidance
Throughout the process, continuous support and guidance is provided to ensure you are comfortable throughout. The report can also be sent to your coach/PT to allow for specific training/nutrition recommendations or to our referral network to support you to achieve your health and fitness goals.
