Basal metabolic rate is decreased by increased

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is primarily determined by lean mass, where more lean mass increases BMR. Fat mass, however, has a lower metabolic activity compared to muscle, so an increase in fat mass without an increase in muscle mass would generally lead to a decrease in BMR. Endurance and non-aerobic activities typically increase muscle mass or efficiency, thereby increasing or having no significant decrease on BMR.
