What else can I help you with?
What occurs if energy reserve in a muscle are depleted after heavy exercise?
an 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.
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.
How do you repay oxygen debt?
You can repay oxygen debt by continuing to breathe deeply and gradually returning your oxygen levels back to normal after exercising. This helps to replenish the oxygen stores in your muscles and tissues that were depleted during physical activity. Stretching and performing cool-down exercises can also help in repaying oxygen debt.
What cause 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.
What accumulates in oxygen debt?
lactic acid
Do muscles enter into oxygen debt when they are functioning anaerobically?
Yes, muscles enter into oxygen debt when they are functioning anaerobically because they rely on anaerobic glycolysis to produce energy in the absence of oxygen. This process produces lactic acid as a byproduct, which needs to be cleared once oxygen supply is restored, hence leading to the 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.
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.
How do you prevent oxygen debt?
You dont exercise. ever.
