2. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_post-exercise...

   Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, informally called afterburn) is a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity.In historical contexts the term "oxygen debt" was popularized to explain or perhaps attempt to quantify anaerobic energy expenditure, particularly as regards lactic acid/lactate metabolism; [1] in fact, the term "oxygen debt" is still widely ...

   As the intensity ramps up, your oxygen consumption eventually plateaus—that’s your VO2 max. The final number is recorded in mL/kg/min (milliliters of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per ...

4. Metabolic equivalent of task - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_equivalent_of_task

   The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...

5. VO2 max - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VO2_max

   V̇O 2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion. [1] [2] The name is derived from three abbreviations: "V̇" for volume (the dot over the V indicates "per unit of time" in Newton's notation), "O 2" for oxygen, and "max" for maximum and usually normalized per kilogram of ...

6. Exercise physiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_physiology

   Oxygen consumption (VO 2) during exercise is best described by the Fick Equation: VO 2 =Q x (a-vO 2 diff), which states that the amount of oxygen consumed is equal to cardiac output (Q) multiplied by the difference between arterial and venous oxygen concentrations. More simply put, oxygen consumption is dictated by the quantity of blood ...

7. Exercise intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_intensity

   The most precise measure of intensity is oxygen consumption (VO 2). VO 2 represents the overall metabolic challenge that an exercise imposes. There is a direct linear relationship between intensity of aerobic exercise and VO 2. Our maximum intensity is a reflection of our maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2 max). Such a measurement represents a ...

8. Sports nutrition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_nutrition

   Post-exercise nutrition is an important factor in a nutrition plan for athletes as it pertains to the recovery of the body. Traditionally, sports drinks such as Gatorade and Powerade, are consumed during and after exercise because they effectively rehydrate the body by refueling the body with carbohydrates, [24] minerals and

9. Cardiovascular fitness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_fitness

   Cardiovascular fitness is a component of physical fitness, which refers to a person's ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles, including the heart.Cardiovascular fitness is improved by sustained physical activity (see also Endurance Training) and is affected by many physiological parameters, including cardiac output (determined by heart rate multiplied by stroke volume), vascular ...
