The amount of oxygen required to store your body to its normal resting level of metabolic function is called:

(A) Lactate Threshold
(B) EPOC 
(C) Deficit Oxygen
(D) None of these

🧠 Explanation:

  • The term for the oxygen needed to restore the body to its normal resting state after exercise is EPOC.
  • EPOC stands for Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption.
  • It includes restoring oxygen levels in blood and muscle, resynthesizing ATP, and removing lactic acid.
  • This process helps the body recover and return to its pre-exercise metabolic rate.
