How do you calculate relative metabolic rate?
4. Calculating Mass-specific Metabolic Rates. -- To get another comparison of smaller versus larger animals, divide the mean rate ( mL min-1) of each animal by its initial body mass in mg (mL min-1mg-1), and then multiply by 60 min hr-1 to get all rates in units of mL O2mg-1hr-1.
What is meant by metabolic rate?
An organism's metabolic rate is the amount of energy expended by that organism in a given time period - usually daily. At rest, meaning in periods of inactivity, the metabolic rate is known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR).
What are the two types of metabolic rate?
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) and resting metabolic rate (RMR) both measure the amount of energy —in calories —that your body needs to stay alive and function properly. Many people use the two terms interchangeably, but they have slightly different meanings.
What should your metabolic rate be?
However, a rough, average, guide is that your resting metabolic rate will require around 1600 calories for men and 1400 calories for women, per day.
How is Harris Benedict RMR calculated?
Harris and Benedict Equation
The revised H&B equations for males and females (2) are: Men: 88.362 + (13.397 × weight in kg) + (4.799 × height in cm) - (5.677 × age in years) Women: 447.593 + (9.247 × weight in kg) + (3.098 × height in cm) - (4.330 × age in years)
