|
| The rate at which the chemical processes of the body must function in order to sustain life. The BMR provides a clinical test based on oxygen consumption which determines the rate of the body\'s metabolism under standard conditions (physical and mental rest) and can be used, for example, to establish the effectiveness of training programmes for athletes. |
