epoc

Question 1

what is epoc your own definition

Answer 1

this is basically breathing fast and deep following exercise to increase the amount of O2 in the body to return to a normal state its state prior to exercise

Question 2

what is an o2 deficit

Answer 2

how much of your effort was anaerobic-the amount of o2 you didnt taken on board in relation to your o2 requirement during the game

Question 3

what is o2 consumption

Answer 3

the amount of o2 consumed during the event

Question 4

the fast componenet of epoc

Answer 4

the alactacid component
resynthesises atp and pc
replenish myoglobin w/ o2- this helpsnus recover and get rid of the causes of fatigue
acheived in 2-3 minutes of finishing the event-BUT 50% OF PC STORES ARE RESYNTHESISED WITHIN THE FIRST 30 SECCONDS
and it takes 1-4 litres of o2 to do this

Question 5

explain the slow component of epoc

Answer 5

we are trying to remove all lactic acid out of the body but we are also trying to maintain ventilation and body temp and these processes require an additional of 5-8 litres of o2 and can take from minutes to hours which i?s why we are still breathing slightly elevated after activity.

Question 6

what 5 things can you convert lactate into -slow component

Answer 6

lactate converts to pyruvic acid and then goes into the krebs cycle and then we get 
glycogen 
protein
h20
c2o 
glucose

Question 7

additionally what else does the body do during the slow comp of epoc

Answer 7

whilst breathing remains slightly elevated due to an increase in o2 delivery to thentissues and removal of co2 from the tissues

Question 8

in trainnning how can we use epoc

Answer 8

cool down help reysthsise tp and pc nd maintain circulation etc
warm up an early increase in o2 will minimise o2 deficit

time outs-to catch breath
rotation of players
effective diet strategies can delay fatigue and speed up recovery
