1. Steady state- is the situation in which the muscles are getting the amount of oxygen they need to produce the energy necessary for movement. When there is a pull or stretch, the body muscles respond by automatic increasing the tension which is a reflex action that helps to maintain a balance. This continuous intervention is referred as steady state condition for muscle where both extensor and flexor muscles are involved.
2. Oxygen deficit-the exercise phase where lactic acid is being produced .This processes is sometimes called oxygen debt which is basically the difference between oxygen uptake of the body when starting to exercise and during a similar period in steady state of exercise.
3. Cardiovascular exercise-the type of activity that conditions the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. This type of exercise normally rises the heart rate, because the muscles experience a movement which makes them stronger thus more oxygen will be needed by the heart to meet energy demands during the exercise.
4. Cardiac output-the total amount of blood the heart pumps in one minute.It is normally the product of the heart rate which is the number of beats per minute and the volume of stroke abbreviated as CO=HR×SV
5. EPOC-what occurs when you continue to breathe hard once you stop exercising .Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption(EPOC) is a physiological effect where an amount of oxygen is required to restore the body into its normal levels of metabolic functions.It is measured as the increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activities.
6. ATP-Is the type of energy needed by the body for muscle movement. It is a molecule that carry with it energy within cell produced in the process of photophosphorylation, and fermentation, cellular respiration. In addition of its uses as energy, it serves the purpose of signal transduction pathways for cell communication and is present in the DNA synthesis.
7. Oxygen consumption-the amount of oxygen the muscles in the body need in order to produce energy for movement. During aerobic respiration oxygen is required to produce ATP from glucose. The oxygen consumption is that oxygen utilized by the tissues of the body and is measured as the oxygen uptake in the lungs. The normal value stands at 3.5 to 4.0 ml/kg/min and is affected the rate of metabolism.
