Fatigue and Recovery Defining fatigue How would you describe fatigue? “ A reduction in muscular performance or a failure to maintain expected power output” Muscular tiredness Shortness of breath Vary depending on activity Causes of fatigue Insufficient ATP Lactic acid Glycogen depletion Fluid loss- low blood pressure Recovery Process after Exercise Why does a 400m sprinter take the same deep breaths as a marathon runner after the race, even though they have run different distances? Why do we take deep breaths? Recovery Process is needed to…. Rebuild muscular stores of ATP and PC that were used during exercise. Remove lactic acid. Replenish the myoglobin O2 stores (Myoglobin has an important , if small scale, role in carrying O2 from haemoglobin to the mitochondria thus ensuring the provision of energy in muscles. Complete restoration is thought to be complete by the time needed to recover the alactacid debt component. Replace Glycogen. There are many other processes involved in recovery. Processes such as restoration of cardiac/pulmonary functioning to resting values, return to normal body temperature etc. all require additional O2 ( although substantially less than that used during the alactacid and lactacid components) and therefore adds time to paying back the O2 deficit to reach the pre exercise level. The oxygen debt  Oxygen Debt= “the amount of oxygen consumed during recovery above that which normally would have been consumed at rest in the same period of time” Excess Post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) =The need for O2 to rapidly replace ATP and remove lactic acid. Oxygen debt will occur if anaerobic activity has occurred Debt can be measured by analysing oxygen consumption before and after exercise. Oxygen debt used to compensate for oxygen deficit….. Oxygen Deficit Oxygen deficit is the difference between the O2 required during the exercise and the O2 actually consumed during the activity O2 is not available for the first few mins appr
