Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time at rest. It can be expressed in units ranging from watts, milliliters of oxygen consumption per minute, or joule per hour per kilogram of body mass. The amount of oxygen an individual takes in and utilizes at rest is equal to 3.5 milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute or one Metabolic equivalent to oxygen consumption referred to as one MET. METs estimate the intensity of aerobic activities based on oxygen consumption during and compared to a resting state.
