  1. RECOVERY PROCESS

  2. During muscular exercise, blood vessels in muscles dilate and blood flow is increased in order to increase the available oxygen supply. Up to a point, the available oxygen is sufficient to meet the energy needs of the body. However, when muscular exertion is very great, oxygen cannot be supplied to muscle fibers fast enough, and the aerobic breakdown of pyruvic acid cannot produce all the ATP required for further muscle contraction.

  3. Lactic Acid During such periods, additional ATP is generated by anaerobic glycolysis. In the process, most of the pyruvic acid produced is converted to lactic acid. Although about 80% of the lactic acid diffuses from the skeletal muscles and is transported to the liver for conversion back to glucose or glycogen.

  4. Ultimately, once adequate oxygen is available, lactic acid must be catabolized completely into carbon dioxide and water. After exercise has stopped, extra oxygen is required to metabolize lactic acid; to replenish ATP, phosphocreatine, and glycogen; and to pay back any oxygen that has been borrowed from hemoglobin, myoglobin (an iron-containing substance similar to hemoglobin that is found in muscle fibers), air in the lungs, and body fluids.

  5. The additional oxygen that must be taken into the body after vigorous exercise to restore all systems to their normal states is called oxygen debt (A. V. Hill 1886-1977). Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption(EPOC): This is the excess oxygen consumed following exercise which is needed to replace ATP which has been used up and to remove lactic acid created during the previous exercise.

  6. Oxygen deficit Oxygen deficit is the difference between the O2 required during the exercise and the O2 actually consumed during the activity. The aim of the recovery process is to : Replace ATP/PC stores, Remove Lactic Acid, Replenish the myoglobin O2 stores and Replace Glycogen.

  7. Eventually, muscle glycogen must also be restored. This is accomplished through diet and may take several days, depending on the intensity of exercise. The maximum rate of oxygen consumption during the aerobic catabolism of pyruvic acid is called "maximal oxygen uptake". It is determined by sex (higher in males), age (highest at about age 20) and size (increases with body size).

  8. Highly trained athletes can have maximal oxygen uptakes that are twice that of average people, probably owing to a combination of genetics and training. As a result, they are capable of greater muscular activity without increasing their lactic acid production, and their oxygen debts are less. It is for these reasons that they do not become short of breath as readily as untrained individuals.

  9. After a strenuous exercise there are four tasks that need to be completed: Replenishment of ATP Removal of lactic acid Replenishment of myoglobin with oxygen Replenishment of glycogen

  10. The need for oxygen to replenish ATP and remove lactic acid is referred to as the "Oxygen Debit" or "Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption" (EPOC) - the total oxygen consumed after exercise in excess of a pre-exercise baseline level. In low intensity, primarily aerobic exercise, about one half of the total EPOC takes place within 30 seconds of stopping the exercise and complete recovery can be achieved within several minutes (oxygen uptake returns to the pre-exercise level).

  11. Recovery from more strenuous exercise, which is often accompanied by increase in blood lactate and body temperature, may require 24 hours or more before re-establishing the pre-exercise oxygen uptake. The amount of time will depend on the exercise intensity and duration.

  12. The two major components of oxygen recovery are: Alactacid oxygen debit (fast component) The portion of oxygen required to synthesise and restore muscle phosphagen stores (ATP and PC) Lactacid oxygen debit (slow component) the portion of oxygen required to remove lactic acid from the muscle cells and blood

  13. The replenishment of muscle myoglobin with oxygen is normally completed within the time required to recover the Alactacid oxygen debit component. The replenishment of muscle and liver glycogen stores depends on the type of exercise: short distance, high intensity exercise (e.g. 800 metres) may take up to 2 or 3 hours and long endurance activities (e.g. marathon) may take several days. Replenishment of glycogen stores is most rapid during the first few hours following training and then can take several days to complete. Complete restoration of glycogen stores is accelerated with a high carbohydrate diet.
