Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) measures how many calories your body burns at rest, helping guide personalized nutrition and energy-balance planning. During this approximately 10-minute test, you'll relax comfortably in a recliner while wearing a breathing mask that measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, along with a heart rate monitor.Active Metabolic Rate (AMR) / VO₂ Max Testing evaluates your aerobic fitness, energy expenditure, and how your body uses carbohydrates and fats during exercise. During this approximately 12–15-minute test, you'll pedal on an exercise bike at gradually increasing intensities while wearing a breathing mask and heart rate monitor to measure your body's response to exercise.Combining both tests provides a more complete picture of your metabolism, connecting your resting energy needs with how your body produces and uses energy during physical activity. These insights can help guide nutrition, exercise, and overall fitness goals.For more information about each test, including preparation and what to expect, please visit our Metabolic Analysis & Body Composition page.

Combining RMR and AMR/VO₂ max testing provides a more complete understanding of how your body uses energy, both at rest and during exercise. Together, these assessments offer valuable insights into your metabolism, aerobic fitness, and how your body utilizes fats and carbohydrates for fuel.This information can help guide more personalized nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle strategies to support your health and fitness goals.

Metabolic testing can benefit a wide range of individuals, from athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to improve performance to those focused on weight management, healthy aging, and overall wellness. Whether your goal is to improve endurance, optimize nutrition, better understand your metabolism, or maintain long-term health, these assessments provide personalized insights to help you make more informed decisions about your exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle habits.

Metabolic testing is simple, comfortable, and noninvasive. Both tests use a specialized breathing mask that measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to assess how your body uses energy and different fuel sources.Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): You'll relax in a comfortable recliner for approximately 10 minutes while we measure your body's energy expenditure at rest.Active Metabolic Rate (AMR / VO₂ Max): You'll pedal on an exercise bike at gradually increasing intensities over approximately 12–15 minutes while we assess your aerobic fitness, metabolism, and fuel utilization during exercise.A single test requires approximately 30 minutes, while combined RMR and AMR testing takes about 60 minutes, including preparation, testing, and a personalized review of your results.For additional details and preparation instructions, please visit our Metabolic Analysis & Body Composition page.

Preparation varies slightly depending on the test to ensure the most accurate results.Active Metabolic Rate (AMR / VO₂ Max): Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, caffeine for 4 hours, and large meals for 2–3 hours before testing.Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): Fast for approximately 4 hours before testing (no longer than 12 hours); water is permitted. Avoid coffee, tea, and caloric beverages for 4–6 hours, alcohol for 12 hours, and exercise for 24 hours before your appointment.Please let our office know about any medical conditions or medications that may affect your testing.For complete preparation instructions, visit our Metabolic Analysis & Body Composition page.

You will receive detailed, physician-reviewed reports that provide personalized insights into your metabolism, aerobic fitness, and overall physiological health. Your VO₂ max results are also compared with reference values for your age and sex, helping you better understand your current fitness level.Using advanced PNOĒ technology, these reports can evaluate up to 23 physiological biomarkers, providing information about resting calorie expenditure, fat and carbohydrate utilization, aerobic fitness, and personalized exercise training zones.We will review your results together and discuss how these findings can help guide your nutrition, exercise, and wellness goals.View Sample Reports:View RMR Sample Report (PDF)View AMR / VO₂ Max Sample Report (PDF)

No. Our AMR / VO₂ max testing is a non-diagnostic metabolic and fitness assessment designed to evaluate aerobic capacity, energy expenditure, and fuel utilization during exercise.While it uses some of the same respiratory gas analysis technology as a medical cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), it is not intended to diagnose heart or lung conditions or replace a clinical CPET performed in a medical setting.

Yes. Your safety is our priority. All participants complete a health and safety screening before testing to ensure the assessment is appropriate for them. Depending on your medical history, current health conditions, or symptoms, additional medical clearance may be required before proceeding with exercise testing.

Yes. Metabolic testing is available to adolescents ages 12 and older, depending on their maturity, physical ability, medical history, and fitness goals. A health and safety screening is required to determine whether testing is appropriate, and parent or guardian consent must be obtained before testing.

Wearable devices estimate metrics such as VO₂ max and calorie expenditure using algorithms based on heart rate, activity, and other measurements. In contrast, our metabolic testing directly measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production through breath-by-breath analysis. This provides more individualized information about your aerobic fitness, energy expenditure, and how your body uses fats and carbohydrates for fuel, helping guide more personalized exercise and nutrition recommendations.

Momentum BioAnalytics testing is not billed through insurance. However, you may be able to use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) depending on your plan and the medical purpose of the testing. We recommend checking with your plan administrator in advance to confirm eligibility, as coverage and reimbursement are not guaranteed.

Yes. Repeat testing can be valuable for monitoring changes in your metabolism, aerobic fitness, and overall progress over time.We generally recommend repeating AMR / VO₂ max testing every 3–4 months to assess improvements in cardiovascular fitness and training efficiency, while RMR testing may be repeated every 6–12 months, particularly when there are meaningful changes in weight, body composition, or nutrition goals.The ideal timing depends on your individual health and fitness goals. Dr. DeVito can help determine an appropriate testing schedule during your appointment..

While Momentum BioAnalytics does not offer ongoing fitness or nutrition coaching, we provide personalized insights and recommendations based on your metabolic testing results.For those seeking additional guidance, we can also recommend qualified fitness and nutrition professionals who can help you work toward your individual goals.

PNOĒ metabolic testing evaluates up to 23 physiological biomarkers that provide insights into how your body breathes, uses oxygen, produces energy, and responds to exercise. These measurements fall into four main categories:Breathing & Respiratory Function (9): Evaluates breathing patterns, lung ventilation, and gas exchange efficiency.Cardiovascular Response (4): Assesses heart rate, heart rate variability, and how your body responds to increasing physical activity.Metabolism & Energy Utilization (8): Measures aerobic capacity (VO₂ max), calorie expenditure, fat and carbohydrate utilization, and metabolic efficiency.Exercise Thresholds (2): Identifies aerobic and anaerobic thresholds to help establish personalized exercise training zones.The specific measurements available depend on the type of testing performed. Dr. DeVito reviews the relevant findings with you, helping translate complex physiological data into practical recommendations for exercise, nutrition, and overall wellness.For more information, including sample reports, please visit our Metabolic Analysis & Body Composition page.

These tests provide different pieces of your health picture. A coronary calcium scan measures calcified plaque in the arteries supplying your heart, while bloodwork helps assess factors such as cholesterol and blood sugar. VO₂ max testing measures your aerobic fitness. how effectively your body uses oxygen during exercise and helps identify personalized training zones.A calcium score of zero is reassuring, but it does not tell us your fitness level. An elevated score makes attention to cardiovascular prevention especially important, and improving fitness can be part of that plan.Dr. DeVito considers your results, medical history, and goals together to guide appropriate next steps. Metabolic testing does not evaluate coronary blockages or replace cardiac testing, prescribed treatment, or any needed exercise clearance.

Whether you are considering a GLP-1 medication or already taking one, it helps to look beyond the number on the scale. Weight loss can include both fat and lean tissue, so maintaining muscle, strength, and adequate nutrition deserves attention throughout treatment.RMR testing measures your calorie use at rest to help individualize nutrition planning.InBody testing estimates body fat and muscle mass and helps track changes over time.AMR / VO₂ max testing assesses aerobic fitness and helps guide exercise intensity.Together, these measurements can provide a useful baseline and help inform adjustments to nutrition and activity as your weight and needs change. Dr. DeVito interprets these findings alongside your treatment plan, with attention to adequate protein, strength training, and sustainable progress.

There isn’t one number that applies to everyone. Your score is best understood by comparing it with people of a similar age and gender, while considering your health, training background, and testing method.Our reference chart below shows those comparisons as percentiles. The 50th percentile is the middle of the reference group; the 80th percentile means a score higher than approximately 80% of that group; and the 90th percentile places it in the top 10%. Higher percentiles indicate greater aerobic fitness, but these are comparison points rather than medical cutoffs.The chart uses standard stationary-cycle testing data. Results from our Echo Bike protocol may differ, so Dr. DeVito interprets your score in that context. Beyond where you rank, an important goal is improving your own fitness over time, using repeat testing under similar conditions to track progress.
