⫸ Aerobic. Answer: In the presence of oxygen
⫸ Anaerobic. Answer: Requiring no oxygen
⫸ Steady state. Answer: Oxygen uptake has reached an adequate level
to meet the oxygen demand of the tissues
⫸ EPOC. Answer: Excess post oxygen consumption:
Oxygen debt referring to oxygen uptake remaining above resting level
for several minutes
⫸ Oxygen deficit. Answer: Period in which level of oxygen below
needed to supply appropriate ATP production required of exercise
⫸ Anaerobic threshold. Answer: Point where body can no longer meet
demand for oxygen and anaerobic metabolism accelerated
