Recovery Process

Question 1

what is known as oxygen deficit?

Answer 1

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

Question 2

what happens during oxygen deficit?

Answer 2

increased breathing and heart rate

Question 3

how is oxygen deficit paid back?

Answer 3

oxygen debt

Question 4

what is oxygen debt?

Answer 4

amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above that which would have been consumed at the same during rest

Question 5

what are the 2 components of oxygen debt?

Answer 5

fast replenishment- alactic acid system

slow replenishment- lactic acid system

Question 6

what is the recovery process?

Answer 6

needs energy for process
done during aerobic work
can happen at any point during or after a game when working aerobically

Question 7

what takes place during the fast component?

Answer 7

replenish myoglobin stores
replenish atp stores
pc system will replenish this
50% of pc stores are replenished in 30 seconds
100% in 2-3 minutes (approx. 4ltrs of o2)

Question 8

what takes place during the slow component?

Answer 8

replenishes 5-10 litres of oxygen in 2 hours
removes lactic acid and returns it to its original components of glycogen, glucose, protein ,co2/water via kreb cycle
maintains heart and breathing rate
replenishment of glycogen via eating
elevated body temperature
