the recovery process

Question 1

epoc

Answer 1

excess post-exercise oxygen consumption

Question 2

4 main tasks that are body needs to happen before the fatigued muscles can operate at optimum efficiency again

Answer 2

•Replenishment of O2 in myoglobin.
•Replacement of glycogen
•Removal of Lactic Acid
•Return body temperature to normal

Question 3

o2 defecit

Answer 3

We create an o2 debt when working at an intensity beyond our aerobic system. The debt is created because it takes time for the o2 to get to the mitochondria after the adjustment of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.

Question 4

at rest

Answer 4

At rest we have a base level of O2 intake to meet our needs.

Question 5

alactacid (fast stage)

Answer 5

1. During exercise PC and ATP are depleted but can be replenished by taking in 4 litres of O2 in about 2-3 minutes.
2. 1-2 minutes myoglobin is reloaded. this helps transfer oxygen from the bloodstream to the mitochondria

Question 6

lactacid (slow stage)

Answer 6

1. Latic Acid removed from cells/blood (can take up to 1 hour)
   - Higher VO2 max quicker this will happen
2. The removal of Co2 by maintain cardiac output and venous return.
3. Replenishment of glycogen stores – helped by consumption of carbohydrate

Question 7

what does EPOC allow for

Answer 7

•restoration of glycogen
•removal of lactic acid
• increase in HR and breathing
•restoration of o2 and myoglobin stores
•decrease in body temperature
•oxygen derby replenished

Question 8

Stages of the recovery process

Answer 8

1.rest
2.oxygen deficit
3. Alactacid
4. Lactacid
