Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and VO₂ Max
How RMR and VO₂ Max Work Together:
1. Metabolism Meets Performance
- • RMR tells you how many calories your body burns at rest.
- • VO₂ Max shows how efficiently your body uses oxygen during intense activity.
Together: They provide a full picture of metabolic health — from idle to full throttle.
2. Smarter Training & Nutrition
- • Knowing RMR helps set accurate daily calorie needs.
- • VO₂ Max determines exercise intensity zones and caloric burn during workouts.
Together: Tailor fat loss, endurance, or performance plans with precision.
3. Health Risk & Longevity
- • Low RMR may signal metabolic issues.
- • Low VO₂ Max is a strong predictor of early mortality.
Together: Better risk assessment and more targeted health interventions.
4. Fat-Burning Insights
- • RMR testing gives your baseline RER (fuel mix at rest).
- • VO₂ testing finds your FatMax zone (best intensity for fat burning).
Together: Optimized zones for weight loss and metabolic flexibility.
5. Age, Fitness & Recovery
- • Both RMR and VO₂ Max decline with age, but are trainable.
- • Tracking both helps slow biological aging and improve long-term function.

Physiotherapist Treatment – Dublin 15 and Dublin 24
At a Physiotherapy appointment in our Castleknock, Blanchardstown or Tallaght clinic, treatment will include manual therapy to the soft tissues, tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. Manual therapy can include stretching, massage, manipulation, dry needling and myofascial release.
Physiotherapy can help give pain relief in most cases but often it depends upon the individual and the longevity of the injury or problem. The rate of healing is different for different individuals. The duration of your treatment plan depends upon variations in pain, motivation, perception, and the healing rate of the individual.
