Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can explain when lactic acid accumulates, what EPOC is and how to optimise recovery after vigorous exercise.
Show transcript
Lactic acid is produced when we exercise anaerobically.
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) repays the oxygen debt from vigorous exercise.
Performers must maintain elevated breathing rates after exercise to repay the oxygen debt.
A cool down, manipulation of diet and ice baths/massage can help prevent DOMS.
DOMS is the delayed onset of muscle soreness.
