A new study demonstrates that Fitmate used to measure resting metabolic rate is a valid and reliable device. The purpose of this study, presented during the 11th International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference (Clearwater Beach, FL, USA. 20-21 June 2014), was to establish the inter- and intra-day test-retest reliability of the Cosmed Fitmate ProTM indirect calorimeter for resting metabolic...
A new validation study on Quark RMR was published by Pennsylvania State University researchers on the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (JPEN). A prospective, observational, N-of-1 trial was conducted to validate COSMED Quark RMR, a new-generation indirect calorimeter against Deltatrac, the gold standard device that is no longer manufactured. The study design was chosen to minimize and...
A new study from the Polish Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS – SGGW) assesses the validity of Fitmate PRO in measuring energy expenditure at rest of obese women. The aim of the analysis was to present the possibilities of using the Fitmate PRO monitor in the assessment of resting metabolic rate and basal energy expenditure with a method of indirect calorimetry in a group of 91 overweight...
A study by the Australian Alfred Hospital focused on the importance of the measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure of burn patients using indirect calorimetry. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to compare the accuracy of three predictive equations used for measuring energy expenditure (EE) to Indirect Calorimetry. Trained dietitians performed Indirect Calorimetry using the...
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...
