what does EPOC stand for
excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
what is EPOC
the extra oxygen we take in after exercise to help the body recover & return to pre-exercise state
what are the 2 stages of EPOC
- alactacid debt - fast stage
- lactacid debt - slow stage
what energy system does alactacid debt recover (2)
- ATP/PC system
- replenishes muscle stores of haemoglobin & myoglobin
what energy system does lactacid debt recover
glycolytic system
why is recovery process important (2)
- during exercise, allows performer to maintain performance
- after exercise, speeds up recovery in time for next performance
what does the recovery process involve
removal of by-products produced during exercise & replenishment of fuels used during exercise
PC = phospho-creatine
glycolytic = glycogen
aerobic = glycogen/FFAs
what does a before lactacid mean
without lactic acid
what type of reactions occur in alactacid debt recovery
endothermic - makes phospho-creatine bonds
how much extra oxygen does alactacid debt require
3-4 litres
how long does it take or fully restore ATP/Pc stores
3 minutes
approximately how long does it take to recover 50% & 75% of ATP/PC stores
50% = 30 seconds
75% = 60 seconds
