Resting Metabolic Rate

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing offered by the Community Health and Performance Assessment Program within the Department of Human Performance and Health at USC Upstate. This test utilizes indirect calorimetry to determine your caloric needs in a resting state. Clients will receive a pre-participation health screening, pre-testing instructions, and an interpretation packet detailing the results of their selected testing. This service is overseen by PhD exercise physiologists and student mentees using research grade laboratory equipment in the Exercise and Sport Science Lab and can be used to inform appropriate daily calorie needs for health and performance goals. The testing takes ~30 minutes. This testing is in no way intended to be a medical diagnosis.
