Recovery Process

Question 1

what is the purpose of the recovery process?

Answer 1

For returning the body to its state before exercise

Question 2

what is meant by oxygen debt?

Answer 2

the amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above which would have ordinarily been consumed at rest in the same time

Question 3

what are the two different types of oxygen debt?

Answer 3

fast replenish component (alactic acid component)

slow replenish component (lactic acid component)

Question 4

what is oxygen deficit?

Answer 4

the volume of extra oxygen required to complete the entire activity aerobically

Question 5

what occurs during oxygen deficit?

Answer 5

heat and breathing rate increase

Question 6

what is the function of the alactic acid component of the o2 debt?

Answer 6

to restore the muscle phosphogen stores

Question 7

what is the function of the lactic acid component of the o2 debt?

Answer 7

the process responsible for the removal of the lactic acid

Question 8

how long does the body take to recover?

Answer 8

depends on duration and intensity
3 minutes to replace muscle stores
up to an hour to remove lactic acid
48 to fully replenish glycogen stores

Question 9

what is the role of myoglobin?

Answer 9

acts as a temporary store for oxygen and helps transport o2 from the capillaries to mitochondria

Question 10

why should you conduct a cool down?

Answer 10

helps return muscles back to their normal temperature slowly
aids the removal of waste products
prevents muscle pooling
helps provide a good supply of oxygen to the muscles

Question 11

why should an rest after a day of exercise?

Answer 11

if the athlete has worked particular hard , their glycogen stores will take at least 24 hours to replenish

Question 12

what are the difference between oxygen deficit and debt?

Answer 12

deficit- start of exercise, when the body takes time to adjust to the supply of oxygen to meet the body’s demands.
debt- is when exercise decreases and helps the body to return to its normal state

Question 13

what does epoc stand for?

Answer 13

exercise
post exercise
oxygen
consumption

Question 14

what does the recovery process need to occur?

Answer 14

ATP- energy

Question 15

So knowing that recovery processes needs energy , when is it likely to occur?

Answer 15

during aerobic work, aerobic system used for recovery to occur , can happen at any point during or after a game when working aerobically

Question 16

What does the fast replenishment system (alactic acid system) do?

Answer 16

replenishes myoglobin stores
replenishes ATP stores
replenishes PC system 50% replenished in 30 seconds
100% 2-3 minutes (4ltrs of o2)

Question 17

what does the slow replenishment system do? (lactic acid system)

Answer 17

2 hours (5-10 litres)
removes lactic acid and returns it to its original components (glycogen, glucose, protein, CO2 )
maintenance of heart and breathing rate
replenishment of glycogen (eating food)
elevated body temp to increase metabolic rates
