Explain what causes oxygen debt and muscle fatigue?
The production of lactic acid anaerobically...
What do you do to replace the oxygen debt?
you repair the oxygen debt with exercise
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 occurs if energy reserve in a muscle are depleted after heavy exercise?
an oxygen debt
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 does oxygen debt affect performance?
it affect performance because lactic acid builds up in your muscles, which then causes shortness of breath and affects performance.
Does decreased ATP occur within a muscle cell during oxygen debt?
Oxygen debt is the deficit of oxygen resuting from intense exercise. During exercise, the body cannot generate enough ATP (energy) to meet the needs of the muscle. This produces lactic acid, which causes muscles to fatigue. Oxygen is required to metabolize the lactic acid and replenish energy stores. How do we do this? We breath, rapidly to bring in large amounts of oxygen. Think of this concept as a checkbook with money being oxygen and writing checks as exercise. If you write checks, but run out of money, your account will go into debt. How do you get out of debt? You get more money.cellular respiration
How is oxygen debt paid off?
oxygen debt has nothing to do with credit. it is the debt you owe to the environment for causing CO2, or carbon dioxide. You pay it off by planting trees.
The amount of oxygen needed to support the conversion of lactic acid to glucose is called what?
The amount of oxygen needed to support the conversion of lactic acid to glucose is called oxygen debt. Myoglobin stores oxygen.
What cause debt?
The main cause of oxygen debt is extraneous exercises. This will cause aerobic respiration which uses more oxygen causing a deficit.
Oxygen causes metal to?
oxygen causes metal to rust oxidate
What accumulates in oxygen debt?
lactic acid
