EPOC Quiz

What does EPOC stand for?

• Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption
• Excessive Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption
• Energy Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption
• Excess Post-Exercise Oxygenation Control

What is one of the primary purposes of EPOC?

• To replenish ATP and PC stores
• To increase lactic acid levels
• To maintain body temperature
• To enhance anaerobic performance

Which of the following are components of EPOC?

• Static component
• Immediate component
• Slow component
• Fast component

How much oxygen is typically consumed during the fast component of EPOC?

• 2 to 3 litres
• 10 to 15 litres
• 5 to 8 litres
• 1 to 4 litres

What happens during the slow component of EPOC?

• Body temperature is maintained
• ATP and PC are resynthesized rapidly
• Oxygen consumption decreases significantly
• Lactic acid is removed from the body

Which of the following factors can contribute to fatigue during exercise?

• Excessive hydration
• Accumulation of lactic acid
• Increased oxygen consumption
• Depletion of ATP and PC

What is the relationship between oxygen deficit and EPOC?

• Oxygen deficit happens only in anaerobic activities
• They are the same process
• EPOC compensates for the oxygen deficit
• Oxygen deficit occurs during exercise, EPOC occurs after

How can active recovery aid in the EPOC process?

• It helps to resynthesize ATP and PC faster
• It increases lactic acid levels
• It slows down the recovery process
• It reduces oxygen consumption

Why is a warm-up beneficial for recovery?

• It increases oxygen delivery before exercise
• It reduces lactic acid production during exercise
• It eliminates the need for EPOC
• It decreases body temperature immediately

What role does nutrition play in recovery after exercise?

• It only affects performance during exercise
• It increases fatigue levels
• It has no effect on recovery
• It can minimize recovery time
