Q
What is oxygen debt
A
- The amount of oxygen needed at the end of a physical activity to break down any lactic acid.
- Anaerobic exercise often results in oxygen debt.
- This is the amount of oxygen needed to oxidise lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water.
- Repaid through deep, gasping breaths at the end of an activity.Therefore, enables lots of oxygen as possible to be taken into the respiratory system, while eliminating the carbon dioxide.

Q
How the cardiovascular and respiratory systems work together?
A
An efficient respiratory system aids the cardiovascular system by providing a constant
supply of oxygen for the muscles and by removing carbon dioxide. During exercise, the body needs to take in a sufficient amount of oxygen and eliminate the carbon dioxide produced by the muscles while they are working.
