Oxygen Deficit In Endurance Sports

 Oxygen In Endurance Sports


Oxygen In Exercise
In these times of crisis, and in which there is so much talk about economy, popularizing terms such as "public debt", "deficit". Well within the physical activity also going to apply a little about the economy and we are going to talk about oxygen debt and oxygen deficit.


These two parameter are related to the consumption of oxygen, and we can say that they have some importance for resistance's athletes.

Oxygen deficit:
When tarts a type of aerobic exercise of some intensity, the majority of the time there is insufficient energy availability to supply it.

In this way, although in normal situations had not an accumulation of lactate, in the initial moments this can occurs.

Subsequently the production of this compound will be regulating to stand at constant level. As you can justify:

 Oxygen in sports
- The oxygen consumption during the time that occurs shortfall is less than that corresponds to the period of stabilization.

- During the first few minutes the amount of oxygen consumed is lower than that required by the exercise in order to produce the required amount of energy.

- The energy used, while collapses the oxygen deficit, has a partial source and predominantly anaerobic.

- The more intense the exercise in relation to the VO2 max of the athlete, the greater the oxygen deficit and therefore more important anaerobic energy production.

- It has accumulated a deficit of additional oxygen each time that it increases suddenly energy expenditure:final sprint, change of pace and acceleration during a race.

- By the slow adaptation of the transport systems of oxygen, this phenomenon is conditioned by the delay in the  adjustments made by the respiratory and circulatory systems. Will require a few minutes for these systems can soak up and carry the additional oxygen that demand the aerobic energy needs of  muscles that come into action.


One of the ways to alleviate this oxygen deficit is a good heating without involving any previous bioenergetic level aerobic or anaerobic.


Oxygen Debt: When there is a exercise of some intensity, originates a hyperventilation as a result of the increased needs of oxygen. Once the exercise is finished, it is not immediately stops the wheezing, but  the individual continues to breathe with more depth and  frequently than in  resting state.


The effect is caused by the need to supply an additional amount of this element, which is required for the return to a state of rest. To this amount of extra oxygen that must be returned is known as oxygen debt.
