Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EPOC stands for "excess postexercise oxygen consumption," which refers to the continued elevated rate of oxygen intake and energy expenditure after a period of exercise. This increased oxygen consumption is necessary for the body to repair damaged tissues, restore depleted energy stores (such as ATP and glycogen), and return the body to its resting state. It is also sometimes referred to as "oxygen debt."
