As the name resting metabolic rate (RMR) implies, the RMR test gives you the best insight into what your body is burning (total calories and fat vs.carbs) most of the time. The key pieces of information this test provides are: 1) Your current fat burning efficiency at rest. 2) Is your metabolism currently fast or slow. 3) How may total calories you’re burning in a 24hr period. 4) Specific caloric targets for safe weight loss, muscle gain, or maintenance. Also as the name implies, Vo2max fitness testing gives you a myriad of additional information about your body when active and not at rest. This information includes not only 11 key metrics: 1) Aerobic Health. 2) Cardiovascular Fitness. 3) Respiratory Capacity 4) Respiratory Capability 5) Breathing & Stability 6) Breathing & Cognition 7) Metabolic Efficiency (Low Intensity) 8) Fat Burning Efficiency while exercising 9) High Intensity Performance 10) Mechanical Efficiency 11) Recovery Capacity, but also your specific and unique heart rate training zones, fat usage, and a recommended distribution of resistance training, cardiovascular training, and interval training based on your test results. Together the two tests give you a complete and comprehensive picture of your current caloric, fat burning and overall fitness state as well as specific guidance on how to make improvements.
