Year 2 Anatomy and physiology - Recovery Systems Flashcards
1
Q
EPOC
A
Excess post exercise oxygen consumption
2
Q
Fast component of EPOC
A
Uses 1-4 litres of oxygen over three minutes to desaturate haemoglobin and myoglobin
This repays the oxygen deficit
3
Q
Slow component of EPOC
A
Uses 5-8 litres of oxygen over 1-2 hours to generate energy to maintain ventilation, circulation and body temperature etc.
4
Q
Cardiovascular drift
A
Upward drift in heart rate during sustained steady-state activity associated with an increase in body temperature
5
Q
Oxygen deficit
A
The volume of oxygen that would be required to complete an activity entirely aerobically
6
Q
Gluconeogenesis/glucogenesis
A
The formation of glucose/glycogen from substrates such as pyruvic acid
