Fitness Analyst Question:
What is EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption)?
Answer:
Your body needs more oxygen after a workout in order to restore the oxygen stores in the blood and tissues, and to meet the still elevated heart rate’s oxygen requirements. EPOC is the reason your breathing rate remains heavy for a few minutes after finishing a workout.
