Popis: Objectives Owing to a dearth of research related to Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) among adolescent athletes in India, our study aimed to document RMR among junior soccer players (JSP) and to identify suitable RMR predictive models for JSP from nine existing equations. Methods Forty Indian JSP (Boys = 21, Girls = 19) representing the under-12 and under-16 age categories were assessed for body composition (skinfold technique) and RMR (oxycon mobile). Two-way ANOVA and ANCOVA were used to examine the differences across age and sex. Bland-Altman plot was used to test agreement between measured vs. predicted RMR using the equations of Cunningham (1980, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 33), Soares et al. (1993, European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 47; 1998, British Journal of Nutrition, 79), Henry (2005, Public Health Nutrition, 8), and Patil and Bharadwaj (2013, Journal of Postgraduate Medicine, 59) for non-athletic populations and the equations of De Lorenzo et al. (1999, The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, 39), Wong et al. (2012, Singapore Medical Journal, 53), and ten Haaf & Weijs (2014, PloS One, 9) for adult athletes. Results RMR showed significant (P
