Yes, breathing heavy is the body trying to recover more oxygen. It happens during exercise such as running as your body tries to recover the lost oxygen.

What is oxygen debt and when does it occur?
The Oxygen Debt is the extra volume of oxygen consumed by muscle tissue after intensive exercise. It is also referred to as recovery oxygen or excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). EPOC - excess post oxygen consumptionOxygen debt is the amount of extra oxygen required by muscle tissue to convert accumulated lactic acid to glucose and replenish depleted ATP following vigorous exercise.
What organic molecule accumulates when oxygen debt occurs?
Lactic Acid
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.
Are bonds a form of debt capital?
Yes.
Which term describes the amount of money the nation owes?
Debt
Is oxygen debt a legitimate medical condition?
Oxygen debt is not a condition but rather a medical term that refers to the amount of oxygen that is lost during intense physical activity and needs to be replenished. This loss or debt of oxygen is replenished by heavy breathing that occurs during intense physical activity or when the physical activity ceases.
How do you repay oxygen debt?
By breathing faster to take in more oxygen to get rid of the lactic acid that has built up from the oxygen debt.
How is oxygen debt paid?
by breathing rapidly and deeply.
What occurs if energy reserve in a muscle are depleted after heavy exercise?
an oxygen debt
What does the body do to get back to normal from the oxygen debt rise?
by breathing more
Breathing heavily after running a race is your bodys way of what?
When people are running they expending energy. More energy is needed to be made from stored energy. The way for this to happen is hydrogen and oxygen atoms to connect and form water. More oxygen needs to be produced for this process to happen that is why heavy breathing occurs.
What occurs after heavy exercise if energy reserves in a muscle are depleated?
an oxygen debt
How is exercise oxygen debt repaid?
During the period of resting, the breathing rate continues to be fast for a while. This provide sufficient oxygen to repay back the oxygen debt. In the liver, some of the lactic acid is oxidized to produce energy. This energy is used up to convert the lactic acid back to glucose. Lactic acid is toxic and cannot be stored or kept in our body for too long. When lactic acid is used up, oxygen debt is being paid.
What does it mean when a person continues breathing heavily for some time after exercising in order to repay an oxygen debt?
When a person continues breathing heavily for some time after exercising in order to repay an oxygen debt, it means that the supply of oxygen in less than the demand. This means that the body is working hard and the amount of oxygen cannot cope with the level of activity.
Breathing heavily after running a race is your body's way of?
Replacing oxygen that was there previously. If you pace yourself while racing it you would not have to end breathing heavily, but if you do then obviously you are replaying a oxygen dept that was never enough to have to begin with... Get It??
What is the sign that a person has accrued oxygen debt?
They are breathing heavily and rapidly to expel the excess carbon dioxide out of their systems.
During heavy exercise the build up of lactic acid in muscle cells results in what?
An oxygen debt.
