A study by the Swedish Karolinska Instituet has been published on Clinical Nutrition Journal showing excellent results for Quark RMR in measuring indirect calorimetry in mechanically ventilated patients.  The study objectives were focused on the necessity of validating new instruments for indirect calorimetry in mechanically ventilated patients, after that production of the Deltatrac has now been...

A new study has been published to evaluate selected factors influencing resting energy expenditure (REE) in obese female subjects. The study, published on the June issue of the World Journal of Experimental Medicine, was carried out by the Department of Experimental Medicine, Medical Physiopathology, Food Science and Endocrinology Section, Food Science and Human Nutrition Research Unit, Sapienza...

The measurement of Resting Metabolic Rate using the Fitmate with a ventilated canopy hood was validated by a study presented during the 2012 ACSM Annual Meeting. The study, by the Northern Illinois University, aimed to determine the reliability and validity of measuring resting metabolic rate (RMR) with COSMED’s FitMate™ metabolic system using a canopy dilution set-up compared to a previously validated...

A French study examined the reproducibility of the Fitmate metabolic system in measuring breathing gas during a cycling exercise. The study (in French language), by the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, aimed to demonstrate the reproducibility of respiratory variables (VE and VO2) using a desktob metabolic system like Fitmate. Twenty-one participants performed during two sessions three 5-min...
