RMR Procedure (30-minute appointment)
• When you arrive, you will be asked to record your body weight using our scales. Following this, you will be asked to lie on the bed provided in a comfortable position. As you are relaxing, general questions such as your age etc., will be asked to complete your profile. Then remain on the bed in a relaxed state for approx. 10 mins. Whilst the Quark is being calibrated to ensure an accurate result.
• After calibration, your mouthpiece or mask will be attached, and testing will begin. This will take approximately 15 minutes. Please try and relax throughout the test but do not fall asleep. During the test, you will be monitored to ensure you have not fallen asleep. If you wish to abort the test, you can sit up and alert the exercise professional.
• Post the test, you will dispose of your mouthpiece and any contaminated material or place your face mask in disinfectant. Your results will then be explained, and a printout will be provided.
• Please note that it is outside of the scope of the profession of practice to provide meal plans as a sports scientist. General dietary advice will be provided, but should a more detailed plan be requested, you will be given the details of a practising dietitian.
• Do not eat or drink anything (other than water) for at least 4 hours before the RMR test is performed and NOT
exercise for 24 hours before the measurement.
• Take note of your physical activity; you will be asked to describe your lifestyle as active, sedentary, or athletic.
• Continue to take your medications as prescribed. Please inform TESST in advance if you have insulin required as your preparation protocol will need to be adjusted with the assistance of a physician
