Understand the term of “oxygen debt” and “ Epoc ” Oxygen debt – a temporary oxygen shortage in the body tissue arising from exercise Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption – additional oxygen needed by body cells to remove lactic acid (created by anaerobic respiration) then bring body to resting level -usually takes 15min – 48hrs

3. Example 100m run 100 m run - barely breathes – end of the race – oxygen debt has to be paid – Next the only way to get oxygen to the muscles is to remove the lactic acid through EPOC Another example: High intensity training Heavy resistance training

4. Recovery – factors influence how quickly can someone recover Overall strength – stronger muscle – quicker absorb O2 – remove lactic Genetics – parents recovery quickly Age – age recovery age recovery Gender – fit women has in resistance fatigue than man Sleep - sleep recovery hot and cold therapy – reduce swelling + improve blood flow Massage therapy – relax muscle + improve blood flow
