Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR) Amt energy needed to stay alive Heat given off at physical, digestive, and emotional rest Heat given off at physical, digestive, and emotional rest Body size Age Health
BMR More body surface area = higher BMR Children + adolescents = higher BMR Rapid growth Rapid growth >20, BMR slows >20, BMR slows Adrenaline- increases BMR Physical activity
