Review

A review: exercise and its influence on resting energy metabolism in man

E T Poehlman. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 1989 Oct.

Abstract

Daily energy expenditure is composed of three major components: 1) resting metabolic rate (RMR); 2) the thermic effect of feeding (TEF); and 3) the thermic effect of activity (TEA). RMR constitutes 60 to 75% of daily energy expenditure and is the energy associated with the maintenance of major body functions. TEF is the cumulative increase in energy expenditure after several meals and constitutes approximately 10% of daily energy expenditure. Most investigators, however, have examined the thermic effect of a single meal test (TEM). TEA is the most variable component of daily energy expenditure and can constitute 15 to 30% of 24-h energy expenditure. This component includes energy expenditure due to physical work, muscular activity, including shivering and fidgeting, as well as purposeful physical exercise. Participation in purposeful exercise (both acute and chronic) is a subcomponent of TEA and has been found to influence resting energy expenditure (RMR and TEM). Reports in the literature, however, are discrepant regarding the direction and magnitude of the effects of exercise and exercise training on RMR and TEM. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies that have examined the effects of exercise on RMR and TEM are reviewed. Possible explanations for divergent results in the literature are discussed. The major focus of this review is directed to human studies, although pertinent animal work is included. The role of genetic variation, gender specific responses, and methodological considerations for future studies examining the relation among RMR, TEA, and TEM are considered. Although still controversial, purposeful physical exercise appears to influence resting energy expenditure in man.

What percentage does resting metabolic rate contribute to total metabolism?

Your BMR defines your basal metabolism rate which makes up about 60-70% of the calories we use (“burn” or expend). This includes the energy your body uses to maintain the basic function of your living and breathing body, including: The beating of our heart.

What percentage does RMR account for in total energy expenditure?

Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is an important parameter in determining energy balance, which accounts for approximately 60% of total energy expended.

What is the average resting metabolic rate?

However, a rough, average, guide is that your resting metabolic rate will require around 1600 calories for men and 1400 calories for women, per day.

What accounts for about 70% of total energy expenditure?

Total daily energy expenditure (TEE) comprises resting energy expenditure (REE), which accounts for approximately 70% of TEE; energy expended in physical activity (approximately 20% of TEE); and the thermic effect of food (TEF), which accounts for approximately 10% of TEE.
