RESTING METABOLIC RATE MEASUREMENT & RESPIRATORY GAS ANALYSIS

Therapists

You are right here!

  • if you want a deeper insight into your metabolism

  • if you want a more accurate estimate of your energy consumption (at rest)

  • if you want to know which energy substrates (protein, fat, carbohydrates) your body uses for energy production and in what proportion

  • if you want to adjust your diet specifically to lose weight, gain weight, have more energy or be more efficient

How does this work?

In breathing gas analysis, the ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the breathing air is analyzed. This can be used to calculate which energy substrates (protein, fat, carbohydrates) are used in which proportion for energy generation. In addition, a more accurate estimate of energy consumption at rest is possible than would be possible with formulas.

In addition to the resting metabolic rate measurement, the breathing gas analysis can also be used in performance diagnostics ( spiroergometry) can be used to determine performance parameters and substrate use during sporting activity and to coordinate training.
