Hello guys, today I want to talk about a very important topic for every sportif for every levels: the recovery
The recovery is the organism mean to restock is losses (oxygen,phosphocreatine,carbohydrates,…)
There are different actions which are set in the organism in and after the effort
1: oxygen deficit and debt
For this first article I want to tell you about the Oxygen
When you start your Jog you have different organism reaction: The destocking of organism carburant:
- Local oxygen in myoglobine (hemoglobine)
- Alactic anaérobie (Phosphocreatine stocks)
- Lactic anaérobie
Those element are uses for the first seconds (until 1’30 minutes)
Then for a jog, Aerobie is used. Oxygen, carbohydrates, lipid and amino acid are the carburants of this mechanism.
This mechanism is long to start but when it is start it can be (theoretically) unlimited in time (Yes you can run for a loooooooong time)
When you start to jog, you can feel your lungs burn. This is caused by an oxygen deficit
The firsts minutes are defined by the getting start of this mecha and the organism request oxygen but in the same time he is not 100% ready to collect this.
It is the Deficit
After your jog, you have a similar sensation: you have a fast breath, noice and you can’t speak. That is the debt:
When your exercice is finished, the organism need a time to decrease his oxygen consumption
In fact after your deficit ending, your request oxygen is optimal and stable but when you stop to run, you haven’t need more of that oxygen quantities but the organism is not able to decrease suddenly the oxygen consumption.He has to decrease progressively the oxygen.
So you have a uncontrollable breath to get out the oxygen excess
This phenomenon is spell : EPOC (Excess Post Oxygen Consumption)
After a time your oxygen return to the normal state
I want to had that when you are trained, the Deficit and Dept make less time to reach the normal or request effect
