A woman is laying on a bed getting an x-ray from a doctor.

During the test:

  • you relax comfortably in a seated or reclined position
  • you breathe normally through a testing device
  • oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production are measured
  • the system calculates your resting calorie expenditure


The test typically takes about 15–20 minutes.


No exercise is involved.
