Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test
Client Preparation Prior to Arrival
Proper preparation of the client is important for successful testing and
reliable results. The following guidelines are recommended.
● Client should avoid eating a meal 4 hours before the test.
● Exercise should be avoided the day of testing.
● If possible, avoid the use of stimulants such as caffeine, tobacco or cold
medications the day of the test.
● Water may be taken as needed at any time.
● Client should continue prescription medications as usual.
Client Preparation upon Arrival
1. Prepare a quiet place for the client to test.
2. Semi-recumbent is the optimal position for relaxation, either a
recliner or a comfortable chair with a footstool.
3. If the room is cold, have a blanket available. Shivering can
measurably raise RMR.
4. Helping the client to relax can be a challenge. It can be useful to give
the client a video with headphones. Studies indicate that content that
keeps their mind engaged without stimulation is generally best. For
instance, nature videos with a narrator work well.
5. Instruct the client to keep a good seal around the MetaBreatherMAX
mouthpiece. Air leaks can cause inaccurate results. The client can
remove the mouthpiece one to two times during the test to swallow
or wipe their lips without negatively affecting the results.
Begin Testing
To begin testing, open the CardioCoach software. The software will open to
the Main Menu, shown below.
Note: KORR highly recommends using the Windows 10 email
app and not MS Outlook, which currently is not a Windows
10 app and will not attach the PDF. If Outlook is used, you
will need to save the PDF to your PC and attach it manually.
To change the default mail settings, see Setting Up Email.
