Q

What is EPOC

A

excess post-exercise oxygen consumption

volume of oxygen consumed post-exercise to return the body to pre-exercise state

EPOC is always present regardless of the exercise. But oxygen deficeit and EPOC depend internsity and duration of exercise

Q

Define the fast alactacid recovery

A

The initial fast stage of EPOC where oxygen consumed within the 3 minutes resuraturates haemoglobin and myoglobin stores and provides the energy for ATP and PC resynthesis

Q

Name the 2 stages of EPOC

A

fast (alactacid) component of recovery - accounts for 10% of EPOC. The vol of O2 required to return body to pre-exercise state to complete the initial jobs. Apporx 1-4 litres of O2

slow (lactacid) component of recovery - this portion of EPOC shows the volume of O2 required to complete the more complex and time consuming jobs to return the body to pre-exercise state. Approx 5-8 litres of O2

Q

Explain what happens during the fast alactacid component of EPOC

A

3 mins -> PC stores fully recovered
-30s for 50% recovery
-requires 3-4l of oxygen

replenishment of blood & muscle oxygen -> within 1st min O2 resaturates bloodstream
-3 mins -> restores oxymyogloin link in muscle cells

Q

Explain what happens during the slow lactacid component of EPOC

A

-elevated ventilation and circulation-> post-exercise respiratory rate, depth & HR remain elevated
-gradually decrease to maximise delivery of O2

-elevated body temperature -> post-exercise elevated temperature ^ metabolic rate

-removal of lactic acid -> removed in 4 ways:
-50-75%- converted back to pyruvic acid
-10-25% converted back to glucose, glycogen
-removed by sweating

Q

What occurs in the replenishment of blood and muscle oxygen within the fast alactacid component

A

during exercise O2 -> dissociated from haemoglobin in blood & myoglobin in muscle cells to fuel aerobic glycolysis, aerobic energy production

in first min of EPOC -> O2 resaturates blood stream, associating with haemoglobin, in 3 mins -> it retsores oxy-myoglobin link in muscle cells

Q

What percentage of pyruvic acid is oxidised in the removal of lactic acid in the slow lactacid component

-what % of pyruvic acid is converted to glucose

A
  1. 50-75% is oxidised in the mitochondria

  3. Small amounts of pa are also converted into protein by the Cori cycle in the liver and removed from the body in sweat and urine

29
Q

What impact does a WARM UP have on recovery ?

A

-this minimises time spent using anaerobic energy systems

  • reduces oxygen deficit = less o2 to ‘pay back’ during EPOC
30
Q

What impact does ACTIVE RECOVERY have on recovery ?

A
  • maintain heart and respiratory rates flushing muscle, capillary beds with oxygenated blood

-this speeds up lactic acid removal

  • reduces length of slow component of EPOC
  • 40-60% VO2 Max is advised
31
Q

What impacts does COOLING AIDS have on recovery ?

A

aids- ice baths used to:

  • lower muscle and blood temp
  • reduce demands on slow component of EPOC

-speed up lactic acid removal

-reduce DOMS

32
Q

What impact does INTENSITY OF TRAINING have on recovery?

A
  • monitor with heart rate to ensure training intenisty is specific to the energy system and muscle fibre type - mirrors demands of activity
  • High intesnity will increase muscle mass and ATP and PC storage capacity
  • High intensity training will increase tolearance of LA
  • Low-moderate intensity training will increase aerobic capacity, respriatory and CV effeciency
33
Q

What impacts does WORK:RELIEF RATIO have on recovery?

A
  • For speed and explosive based performers predominantly using the ATP-PC systems the work:relief ratio of 1:3+ gives sufficient time for ATP & PC stores to re-synthesise during the sesssion
  • For lactate tolerance and high intensity muscular endurance performers pre-dominantly using the glycotic system a work:relief ratio of 1:2 should give sufficent recovery to continue training but encourage LA accumulation to increase tolerance and buffering capacity
  • ## For aerobic capacity using aerobic system work:relief ration of 1:1 or 1:0.5 will promote adaption and delay OBLA and muscle fatigue
34
Q

what impacts does STRATEGIES and TACTICS have on recovery?

A
  • e.g coach using timeout of 30s relief intervals to promote for 50% ATP and PC replenishment
  • tennis player changing racquets allowing relef intervals to clear LA and re-syntesise ATP and PC replenshiment
35
Q

what impacts does NUTRITION have on recovery?

A

The correct pre, during and post event nutrition can help performer maximise fuel stores, delay fatigue, reduce LA and speed up recovery.
- to maximise PC stores a peformer might load creatine, phosphate and proetin, increasing the efficiency or ATP
- to maximise glucose and glcogen a perfomer may carbohydrate load using pre, during and post maximising the efficiency of glycotic systems and slow stage of recovery
- latic acid use bircarbonate
