Resting Metabolic Rate with FatMax exercise test*

The amount of fat your body uses to fuel exercise increases from low to moderate intensity exercise and progressively decreases as exercise intensity increases. This test involves exercising for 3 minute stages at progressive speeds/power outputs. Expired gas (air you breathe out) is measured throughout to calculate carbohydrate and fat oxidation rates. This test is useful for athletes wishing to train at intensities that maximise fat oxidation, for example athletes competing in ultra endurance and aesthetic sports.
