Document Summary

Amount of oxygen consumed by exercising muscles. At the start of exercise and during initial few minutes of exercise, o2 uptake is not sufficient to provide all the energy that is needed. In the transition from rest to light or moderate exercise, oxygen uptake increases rapidly, generally reaching a steady state within one to four minutes. The term oxygen deficit applies to the lag in oxygen uptake in the beginning of exercise. The failure of oxygen uptake to increase instantly at the beginning of exercise suggests that anaerobic pathways contribute to the overall production of atp early in exercise. After a steady state is reached, the body"s atp requirement is met via aerobic metabolism. Amount of oxygen demanded is equal to that consumed. O2 uptake is still elevated after exercise. O2 uptake slowly returns to resting levels is called epoc - necessary to return to resting levels. In the past has been called oxygen debt .
