EPOC, Oxygen Deficit, Lactate Accumulation & Training methods

The energy continuum is often explained in terms of thresholds - What does 'threshold' mean?

• The maximum amount of energy that can be used by an energy system

• The point at which an energy system is exhausted and the body must switch to another energy system

• The maximum amount of ATP produced per energy system

• The minimum amount of time an energy system can be used for

What is the definition of VO2 Max?

• The minimum volume of oxygen that can be taken up by the muscles per hour

• The maximum volume of oxygen that can be taken up by the muscles per hour

• The minimum volume of oxygen that can be taken up by the muscles per minute

• The maximum volume of oxygen that can be taken up by the muscles per minute

What is 'sub-maximal oxygen deficit'?

• When there is not enough oxygen available at the start of exercise to provide all the energy anaerobically

• When there is not enough oxygen available at the start of exercise to provide all the energy aerobically

• When there is plenty of oxygen available at the start of exercise to provide all the energy anaerobically

• When there is plenty of oxygen available at the start of exercise to provide all the energy aerobically

Which of the following is NOT a Fast Component of EPOC?

• The restoration of ATP

• The restoration of phosphocreatine stores

• The restoration of myoglobin with oxygen

• Removal of Lactic Acid

What is the Cori Cycle?

• The process where nitric acid is transported in the blood to the liver where it is converted to blood glucose and glycogen

• The process where lactic acid is transported in the blood to the liver where it is converted to blood glucose and glycogen

• The process where Sulphuric acid is transported in the blood to the liver where it is converted to blood glucose and glycogen

• The process where citric acid is transported in the blood to the liver where it is converted to blood glucose and glycogen
