High REE in sumo wrestlers attributed to large organ-tissue mass

Article Abstract:

The effects of organ-tissue mass of fat-free mass (FFM) components on the resting energy expenditure (REE) for sumo wrestlers with large FFM and REE are analyzed. The research demonstrates that the elevation of the organ-tissue metabolic rate, as well as the large absolute amount of low and high metabolically active tissue like skeletal muscle, liver and kidney are the major factors contributing to the high REE in sumo wrestlers.
