oxygen

Question 1

oxygen uptake at rest

Answer 1

• demand for o2 is relatively low as the body does not need large amounts of energy when at rest
• resting heart and respiratory rates match the low demand of O2

Question 2

oxygen deficit

Answer 2

the volume between an ideal and real o2 uptake (demand is more than supply)
happens when intensity increases
the larger the oxygen deficit, the greater the contribution from the anaerobic pathways

Question 3

steady state

Answer 3

when oxygen supply equals oxygen demand
before steady state is reached, there is an increased contribution from the anaerobic pathways

Question 4

EPOC

Answer 4

excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
- the volume of oxygen used during recovery from exercise that is an excess of resting oxygen consumption
