Question 1

Descrive VO2 Maximum

Answer 1

The maximum amount of oxygen that can be taken in, transported around the body and used by the muscles per minute.

Question 2

What is an oxygen deficit?

Answer 2

Where oxygen supply does not meet oxygen demand

Question 3

What is Steady State?

Answer 3

Where oxygen supply meets oxygen demand

Question 4

What is EPOC?

Answer 4

Where oxygen supply exceeds oxygen demand

Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption

Question 5

Describe the relation between Oxygen Deficit and EPOC

Answer 5

The duration/quantity of EPOC is relative to the duration/quantity of oxygen deficit

Question 6

What side of the graph is coloured when reffering to oxygen deficit and EPOC?

Answer 6

The left-hand side

Question 7

Why does oxygen deficit occur?

Answer 7

When intensity is increased, body is not breathing in enough oxygen to support this intensity. Gaining more oxygen requires time, creating an oxygen deficit.

Question 8

Why does EPOC occur?

Answer 8

To help oxidise accumulated Hydrogen ions that were a result of the oxygen deficit.

Question 9

Answer 9

Amount of oxygen in L/m
