Assignment: Oxygen Consumption
Discuss about oxygen consumption for physiology of exercise lab class. It is a discussion board post, so please do not write a whole essay, but just a post for a discussion board that answers all the questions and follows the instructions in sufficient detail. ALL the study material that you have to use to complete this is below or attached
Instructions: For this activity learners will review the concepts of oxygen consumption with a particular focus to the oxygen response to exercise. Learners will then investigate and discuss oxygen deficit and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) in response to exercise between individuals and exercise intensity. Excel tables are attached below
Task
I. You will utilize one of the provided spreadsheets below to calculate the oxygen deficit and EPOC. One spreadsheet contains two assessments of two differing individuals while the other contains two assessments with the same individual. Pick one to investigate.
II. In each spreadsheet, calculate the oxygen deficit and EPOC for each assessment. Detailed instructions and a tutorial video are provided in the Reading and Review materials folder.
III. Next, create a line graph for each assessment, plotting each VO2 value along the x-axis for a visual representation of the data. Identify the areas where the oxygen deficit, steady state, fast EPOC and slow EPOC occur. A tutorial video is provided in the Reading and Review materials folder.
IV. In your initial post:
A. Title your post with the spreadsheet you utilized (Intensity or Fitness Levels).
B. Discuss your current knowledge (prior to this activity) of oxygen uptake in response to activity or between fitness levels. Be honest!
C. Discuss your findings, providing your calculations for both assessments and your initial interpretation of the data. Get the instant assignment help.
D. Input pictures of the graphs you created and provide any new findings/interpretations that you gained from reviewing these graphs.
E. Finally, provide evidence supporting or disproving your interpretation. To do this, find one peer-reviewed scholarly article that investigates/discusses oxygen deficit and/or EPOC.
The goal of this portion of your response is not to find an article that simply supports your findings, but rather to:
a. Consider and compare your findings to those in the current literature.
b. Gain a more in-depth understanding of oxygen uptake in response to activity (or cessation of activity). Has your knowledge of oxygen uptake in response to activity improved? If so, provide some more insight.
c. Relate these concepts to their utility in practice. While measurement of oxygen deficit and EPOC are not generally completed, which concept(s) can be applied to enhance program design?
