Summary

To our knowledge no study has evaluated neither feasible methods for the assessment of anthropometric profile nor indirect methods to estimate energy expenditure (EE) for adapted athletes. The primary aim is to develop and validate new RMR prediction models, for the estimation of the resting metabolic rate from anthropometric variables in young Mexican Paralympic athletes; our second objective is to evaluate the agreement between RMR and the prediction models of Cunningham, Harris-Benedict, Henry, Valencia, Chun, Nightingale \& Gorgey, FAO/WHO, Mifflin, Müller, Owen, and our own models. A comparative cross-sectional quantitative study was designed. Participants report to the testing laboratory only once for data collection. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology criteria guidelines for cross-sectional research (STROBE) is followed in the design/reporting of this study.

Conditions

• Resting Metabolic Rate
• Disability Physical
• Athletic Injuries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Indirect Calorimetry	RMR was calculated by breath oxygen consumption (O2 in mL·min-1), minute by minute, using a portable device (Breezing®, Arizona, USA), and the Weir equation (1949), while participants remained in a sitting position for ≈15 to 20 minutes. The anthropometric measurements were performed by certified level 3 anthropometrists following the guidelines of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry, ISAK
