Recovery Flashcards
Recovery from fatigue
return of body to resting physiological state - homeostasis
What remains elevated post exercise?
oxygen consumption and metabolic rate - excess post exercise oxygen consumption - benefit of high intensity training
2 phases of EPOC
fast - rapid decrease in VO2, VE and heart rate
- 2-3 mins
2-6L of O2 depending of intensity of exercise
Slow - slow decrease in VO2, VE and HR
- 3-60min, increased O2 intake can persist up to 24 hrs
5-15L depending on intensity
EPOC is a function of
intensity, duration, and mode
increase in O2 consumption means
increased KCAL expenditure

What doesnt cause EPOC
making for the oxygen deficit at the start
6 reasons that cause EPOC
restoration of ATPPC store
restoration of oxygen stores - 2-3mins
elevated CVR function - helps to deliver extra O2
elevated hormone levels - residual effect of E, thyroxine and corticol
elevated body temp - each 1 degree increases metabolic rate by 12-15%
energy substrate shift - from using carbs to fat which needs more oxygen
ATPPC half recovery and full recovery time
20-30sec
2-8 min
muscle lactate half recovery and full recovery time
12-20min
30-60min
blood lactate half recovery and full recovery time
15-25min
60min
glycogen half recovery and full recovery time
5-6hrs
1-2days
recovery times serves as a basis for
interval training
- only allow partial recovery to overload then increase the capacity of the system
half vs full recovery in high intensity work zone
half gives you increased total work
regeneration of PC needs
aerobic metabolism
