Energy balance
The acclimation group also had a significantly lower resting metabolic rate measurement (5550 kJ) compared to the control group (6077 kJ) (p < 0.001).
Practitioners should consider acclimation periods for clients using mouthpieces and noseclips to enhance metabolic rate measurement accuracy.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Of the three averaged resting metabolic rate measures, significantly lower 24-hour energy expenditures were found with the practice (5647 kJ) and acclimation (5550 kJ) groups when compared with those of the control group (6077 kJ) (p < 0.001).
