KembaraXtra-Psychology – Basal Metabolic Rate
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) refers to the rate at which the body expends energy while at complete rest in order to sustain vital physiological processes such as breathing, circulation, temperature regulation, and cellular maintenance. Measured under standardized conditions—typically after fasting and in a thermally neutral environment—BMR reflects the minimal energy requirement necessary for survival. It is commonly expressed in kilocalories per square meter of body surface area per hour. Variations in BMR are influenced by age, sex, body composition, hormonal activity, and genetic factors, making it a central concept in studies of metabolism and energy balance.
