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.
