Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between the body composition, maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and resting metabolic rate(RMR) of 53 adult females. The RMR and RMR/body weight(BW) were significantly increased in subjects with higher VO2max/BW(p<0.05). It was found that the higher was the body mass index(BMI), the lower was the RMR/BW(p<0.05). The age, BW, BMI, bo dy fat mass, and body fat percentage showed negative correlation with the RMR/BW, while the height and VO2max/BW showed positive one. In conclusion, it seems that, during an evaluation of RMR, the positive effect of lean body mass, muscle mass, VO2max on RMR could be shown more easily by measuring RMR/BW when a subject has higher level of VO2max; the negative effect of BMI, BFM, and BFP on RMR could be excluded more efficiently when the subject has lower level of it.
