Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, informally called afterburn) is a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity.In historical contexts the term "oxygen debt" was popularized to explain or perhaps attempt to quantify anaerobic energy expenditure, particularly as regards lactic acid/lactate metabolism; [1] in fact, the term "oxygen debt" is still widely ...
V̇O 2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption attainable during physical exertion. [1] [2] The name is derived from three abbreviations: "V̇" for volume (the dot over the V indicates "per unit of time" in Newton's notation), "O 2" for oxygen, and "max" for maximum and usually normalized per kilogram of ...
Hypoxaemia. Blood with higher oxygen content appears bright red. Specialty. Pulmonology. Hypoxemia is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood. [1][2] More specifically, it is oxygen deficiency in arterial blood. [3] Hypoxemia has many causes, and often causes hypoxia as the blood is not supplying enough oxygen to the tissues of the body.
An arterial blood gas (ABG) test, or arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA) measures the amounts of arterial gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. An ABG test requires that a small volume of blood be drawn from the radial artery with a syringe and a thin needle, [ 1 ] but sometimes the femoral artery in the groin or another site is used.
Exercise physiology is the physiology of physical exercise. It is one of the allied health professions, and involves the study of the acute responses and chronic adaptations to exercise. Exercise physiologists are the highest qualified exercise professionals and utilise education, lifestyle intervention and specific forms of exercise to ...
Here’s a side-by-side comparison of where they stand. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The state of healthcare has reached a critical stage in the United States, and issues such as the Affordable ...
Food & Wine did some digging and found there's no solid research to back up the claim that cutting boards are 200 times dirtier than toilet seats. Instead, it seems Dr. Charles Gerba is citing a ...
Specialty. Diving medicine, hyperbaric medicine, neonatal medicine. Oxygen toxicity is a condition resulting from the harmful effects of breathing molecular oxygen (O2) at increased partial pressures. Severe cases can result in cell damage and death, with effects most often seen in the central nervous system, lungs, and eyes.
