Practice is required to minimize the influence of mouthpiece and noseclip on resting metabolic rate measurements.
Practitioners should implement practice sessions to improve the accuracy of metabolic rate assessments.

It also is obvious that practice is required to minimize this influence when such apparatuses are used.
