Abstract It has been a question in the minds of many clinicians and investigators whether the thirty minute rest period commonly used before basal metabolic tests served as sufficient time for the body to come to basal conditions especially in the case of patients who come from a distance.

The question arose whether these observations would be applicable to obese and underweight subjects, and further whether subjects who had more vigorous exercise would require a longer period of rest.
