VO2 max.


Which of the choices below does not describe how recovery oxyen uptake oxygen deficit restores metabolic conditions?

The choice that does not describe how recovery oxygen uptake oxygen deficit restores metabolic conditions is "by decreasing the heart rate." Recovery oxygen uptake oxygen deficit restores metabolic conditions by increasing oxygen consumption and restoring oxygen debt through increased respiration and blood circulation, not by decreasing heart rate.


How does the thickness of lamellae affect the oxygen uptake by a fish's gills?

Osmoregulation is the maintenance of constant pressure of osmosis in the fluids of an organism. This helps the flow of water through the gills to keep entering the cells, rather than pulling out the water, which helps to bring in the needed oxygen.

Can someone show you how to calculate or to get your Maximum Oxygen Uptake?

In healthy persons oxygen uptake is about 10 ml per watt during cycling exercise. The resting oxygen uptake is 3.5 ml/kg body weight, and unloaded cycling appr 400-500 ml. So when you are doing an incremental test till exhaustion on a bicycle ergometer your peak power could be estimated into maximal oxygen uptake. So you'll have to multiply body weight by 3.5 and add 400-500 ml and add your peak power multiplied by 10.


What builds up in your cells as you exercise?

If you exceed the rate of oxygen uptake, then lactic acid.


How does recovering oxygen uptake restores metabolic conditions?

increases levels of lactic acid
