Recovery Process 3

Question 1

what is oxygen deficit

Answer 1

lack of oxygen that is required to aerobically replenish ATP

Question 2

what is EPOC

Answer 2

increased level of oxygen consumption following exercise

Question 3

what is the fast component of EPOC

Answer 3

initial replenishing of the body’s blood supply while also re-synthesising ATP and PC stores within 3 minutes (alactacid)

Question 4

what is the slow component of EPOC

Answer 4

elevated circulation, ventilation and body temperature while removing lactic acid and converting it into glycogen. this takes up to 60 minutes

Question 5

what does EPOC stand for

Answer 5

excess post-exercise oxygen consumption

Question 6

what is VO2

Answer 6

volume of oxygen consumed

Question 7

what is recovery

Answer 7

restoring or regular in the body to its original state/pre-exercise state

Question 8

what does sub-maximal exercise mean

Answer 8

exercise below maximum heart rate (aerobic)

Question 9

what two processes occur during the fast component/alactacid and of EPOC

Answer 9

-ATP/PC resynthesis
-replenishment of myoglobin using O2

Question 10

what does maximal exercise mean

Answer 10

exercise using maximum heart rate (anaerobic)

Question 11

what is the fast component of epoc also known as

Answer 11

alactacid component

Question 12

what is the duration of the fast component of epoc and how much it is replenished at 30,60&180s

Answer 12

180s for full replenishment, 50% of PC/ATP/my/haemoglobin replenished after 30s, 75% after 60s

Question 13

how much VO2 is consumed in the fast component of epoc

Answer 13

3-4L

Question 14

what is the slow component of epoc also known as

Answer 14

lactacid component

Question 15

what is the duration of the slow component of epoc

Answer 15

1-24hrs (depending on intensity of the exercise)

Question 16

what is the VO2 consumed in the slow component of epoc

Answer 16

5-8L
