Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The volume of oxygen required after exercise to oxidize the lactic acid formed during exercise is know as
A
oxygen debt
B
lactic acid rephosphorylation
C
lactic acidosis
D
aerobic respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen debt is the oxygen required (after vigorous exercise, using up the oxygen faster than it can be breathed in) to oxidize lactic acid, created from anaerobic cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -· Oxygen debt is defined as the extra volume of oxygen that is needed to restore all the energetic systems to their normal state after exercise. · Oxygen deficiency is defined as the difference in oxygen volume between an ideal, hypothetical oxygen uptake and the actual uptake in real life.

Detailed explanation-3: -The O2 debt was hypothesized to represent the oxidation of a minor fraction (1/5) of the lactate formed during exercise, to provide the energy to reconvert the remainder (4/5) of the lactate to glycogen during recovery.
