Recovery Proxess Flashcards
EPOC
Excess post exercise oxygen consumption
Volume of O2 consumed above resting levels allowing exercise
Oxygen deficit
When there is insufficient O2 available at the start of exercise to provide all ATP needed anaerobically
Oxygen consumption
The amount of O2 used by the body
Myoglobin
Protein that stores O2 in the muscle
Active recovery
Use of light energy to aid recovery
Alactacid
A fast process that takes 2-3 minutes where O2 is used for rapid resynthesis of ATP/PC
Lactacid
Slow process that takes 1-24 hours where O2 is used to remove lactic acid and maintain high heart rate breathing rate and body temp
What happens in epoc
Replenishment of O2 in myoglobin
Replenishment of glycogen
Removal of lactic acid
Return body temp to normal

Graph
Recover alactacid
During exercise PC and ATP are depleted but can be replenished by taking in 4 litres of O2 in 2-3 minutes
PC levels restored
How much PC is restored during alactacid recovery
30 secs- 50% PC
1 min- 75% PC
4 min - 100% pc
How long does it take myoglobin to be restored
1-2 minutes
Recovery lactacid stages
- Lactic acid removed from cells/blood can take up to 1 hour
- the removal of CO2 by maintaining cardiac output and venous return
- Replenishment of glycogen stores
