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.
What causes oxygen debt?
The main cause of oxygen debt is extraneous exercises. This will cause aerobic respiration which uses more oxygen causing a deficit.
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.
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.
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 accumulates in oxygen debt?
lactic acid
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 is oxygen debt paid?
by breathing rapidly and deeply.
What molecule accumulates in oxygen debt?
lactic acid
