1. Oxygen deficit occurs when the ATP production increases. It also occurs during the beginning of exercise. Anytime an individual changes the intensity of a workout, there will be an oxygen deficit. Oxygen deficit uses aerobic metabolism during an exercise bout.
2. The physiological reason that there is an oxygen deficit, is due to the slow phase and the and the rapid phase. The slow phase takes the body longer for the heart rate to decrease to its resting rate. This process includes aerobic metabolism. The rapid phase synthesizes the intramuscular PC throughout the body.
3. EPOC is the amount of oxygen consumed in recovery. EPOC will bring the body to a resting state. During this resting state, the body needs oxygen to accomplish this …show more content…

Direct calorimetry measures heat production. The indirect calorimetry examines the amount of oxygen and the carbon dioxide that is used. To assess the oxygen and carbon dioxide used, it is generated through the metabolic velocity.
6. The metabolic cart is a tool used to measure the metabolic rate. This metabolic rate can be assessed by the submaximal vo2 max test. The carbon dioxide produced, and oxygen that is used is also assessed by the metabolic cart.
7. The difference between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and resting metabolic rate (RMR), is the hours that determine the metabolic velocity. The basal metabolic rate takes place in supine position. In a thermonetural atmosphere the basal metabolic rate can be assed 12-18 hours after a meal. The resting metabolic rate is assessed after 4 hours of a light meal, and 30-60 minutes after resting quietly.
8. The factors that effect BMR and RMR are the following: age, gender, body temperature, stress, and body surface area. In age there is a decrease in fat-free mass. Gender and temperature. increase the BMR. Males tend to have a higher BMR compared to females. Stress corresponds with the parasympathetic system, which also increases the BMR. If the body surface area has an expanded area the heat will elevate the
