Based on the data I need help solving questions 7-12.

What would happen to EPOC if the exercise was more intense? Graph VO_2 over the collection time (VO_2 on the y-axis and time on the x-axis). Identify the areas representing O_2 deficit and EPOC, and shade those areas. Include rest, exercise and recovery intervals, oxygen debt and deficit, and the fast and slow components of oxygen deficit. During steady state exercise, calculate the average RER. If this exercise was to continue for 30 minutes how many total kcals would be burned? If this exercise was to continue for 30 minutes how many fat kcals would be burned? If this exercise was to continue for 30 minutes how many carbohydrate kcals would be burned?

Solution

7. Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC, informally called afterburn) is a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following strenuous activity intended to erase the body\'s \"oxygen deficit\".

As per the definition, the more intense the exercise the more deficiency of oxygen there will be. Thus, to counteract, the EPOC will increase.

9. RER (Respiratory Exchange Ratio)
