The extra oxygen consumed during recovery from a period of intense physical activity, compared with the amount of oxygen which would usually have been consumed over the same length of time at rest
Oxygen Debt
1 of 10
The amount of air inspired or expired with each normal breath at rest or during exercise
Tidal Volume
2 of 10
The most amount of air that can be made to pass into and out of the lungs by the most forceful inhale and exhale
Vital Capacity
3 of 10
This is improved as the lungs will deliver oxygen to working muscles better, allowing the body to cope better during exercise
Lung Efficiency
4 of 10
This is more efficient as teh body can cope with more carbon dioxide being produced during exercise
Carbon Dioxide Removal
5 of 10
This is increased as the whole system becomes more efficient, especially the lungs.
Vital Capacity
6 of 10
These are more available as more oxygen can be absorbed by capillaries and more carbon dioxide can be taken from them
Alveoli
7 of 10
There are more available as an increase in capillaries around the alveoli means more blood can get into these and through the muscles
Blood Vessels
8 of 10
This causes the alveoli to become less stretchy and efficient and as a result makes it more difficult to get oxygen in adn carbon dioxide out.
Smoking
9 of 10
This causes the person's heart to have to work harder to get the oxygen their bodies need
