Popis:	Weightlifters involve in intense strength and resistance training, thus calorie adequacy is a nutritional concern for them. Determining Resting Metabolic rate (RMR) is important to assess energy needs and there is limited scientific evidence in this area. Thus, this study aims to document physical characteristics and RMR of Indian junior weightlifters. It also attempts to identify suitable RMR prediction equations by developing new equations and comparing measured with predicted RMR from seven equations already existing world-wide. In this cross-sectional observation study, twenty one Indian junior weightlifters (Boys = 9; Girls = 12) were assessed for body composition (skinfold technique) and RMR using indirect calorimetry. Regression models for RMR were developed and measured RMR was compared with predicted RMR using paired samples t-test. The 24-hour RMR showed significant (P
