Problem 1: Which is larger during the higher intensity cycling: the deficit or the EPOC? Which is larger during the lower intensity cycling: the deficit or the EPOC? Why is there a difference in the deficit and EPOC between high and low intensity cycling?
Problem 2: Aerobic training results in increased size and number of mitochondria. What effect would this have on oxygen deficit and EPOC? Why?
Problem 3: There are two components to the EPOC. The fast component (large drop in the oxygen uptake values in 2-3 minutes) and the slow component (gradual return to rest). What are the explanations given for the existence of the two components?
