'''Calorimetry''' is defined as being the amount of '''heat produced''', measured in '''calories'''.

We can measure someone's '''methabolic rate''' by measuring the '''heat''' produced.

'''Oxygen''' is consumed by the body for the energy production when the muscles are working.

A direct relationship exists between the amount of '''oxygen''' consumed and the amount of '''heat''' produced.

By measuring the '''rate of oxygen consumption''' we can get a very good estimate of individual's '''methabolic rate'''.
