The RMR test is a simple, non-invasive test that accurately measures how many calories you burn at rest. During the test, a machine captures and analyses the composition of your breath, determining your oxygen consumption, to measure the rate at which you consume energy. An RMR test provides accurate data as a foundation for any diet or nutritional plan.

Blood flow restriction training is a strengthening technique used to help gain muscle function after an injury or surgery. It is done by temporarily restricting blood flow to a muscle during exercise.

This method is most appropriate when high training loads are not appropriate, such as after surgery, injury, or in cases of significant loss of muscle mass. Blood flow restriction strengthening uses low-intensity exercise to achieve strength gains typically seen with high-intensity training.

Blood flow restriction training places a muscle under physiological stress without the need to place the muscle itself, ligaments or surrounding joints under high mechanical stress.
This restriction creates an environment where muscle growth can occur even if the training loads are kept to a minimum, something that may be important after injury or surgery.

As your body is healing after surgery, you may not be able to place high stresses on a muscle or ligament. Low load exercises may be required, and blood flow restriction training allows for maximal strength gains with minimal and safe loads.
