Oxygen debt
This term describes the extra oxygen your body needs after exercise to restore it to its resting state.
Oxygen debt
EPOC is the amount of oxygen consumed after exercise that is ______ than at rest.
Higher
Stretching after exercise helps reduce this uncomfortable feeling caused by micro‑tears.
Muscle soreness
Sprinters rely heavily on this type of respiration.
Anaerobic respiration
This sport uses terms like “love,” “deuce,” and “match point.”
Tennis
Oxygen debt is mainly caused by the build‑up of this waste product during anaerobic exercise.
Lactic acid
EPOC helps remove lactic acid and restore this molecule used for energy.
ATP
This type of recovery involves low‑intensity exercise to help clear lactic acid.
Active recovery
Marathon runners rely mainly on this energy system.
Aerobic respiration
This football team has won the most premier league titles with 13
Manchester United
One way the body repays oxygen debt is by increasing this vital process immediately after exercise.
Breathing rate
EPOC is most associated with this type of exercise intensity.
High intensity
Rehydration after exercise replaces this essential fluid lost through sweating.
Water
This waste product is removed more quickly when athletes perform a cool‑down.
Lactic acid
This global sporting event takes place every four years and includes athletics, swimming, and gymnastics.
Olympics
This energy system is used when oxygen debt occurs.
Anaerobic
During EPOC, the body temperature remains elevated, increasing this process that burns calories.
Metabolism
Ice baths and massages are examples of this type of recovery technique.
Soft tissue recovery
High‑intensity interval training (HIIT) is known to increase this post‑exercise oxygen process
EPOC
This team won the most recent Super Bowl
Seattle Seahawks
This organ converts lactic acid into glucose during oxygen debt repayment.
Liver
EPOC includes replenishing oxygen stores in these two places in the body.
Blood and muscles
Glycogen stores are replenished by consuming this macronutrient.
Carbohydrates
This term describes the maximum amount of oxygen an athlete can use during exercise.
VO2 max
This long‑distance running event is exactly 26.2 miles.
Marathon
