Examine the relationship between oxygen debt and muscle fatigue and an elevated respiratory rate after exercise.
The relationship between oxygen debt and muscle fatigue
While we do Exersice or some kind of strenuous activity our body require more amount of oxygen than normal .
When this occurs the body will need more amount of oxygen and for this our body mitochondria will conver into anerobic respiratiom which will cause. Lactic acid production. So to convert and excrete the lactic acid in body it need more oxygen and this will result in oxygen debt
While in cause of muscle fatigue it is caused by the increased contraction and relaxation of muscles which results in the fatigue of muscle. Also the high amount of lactic acid will lead to muscle fatigue
Elevation in respiratory rate will occur because our body is having a high need for oxygen to make energy for all tge activity as well as to remove the lactic acid from body . So elevation occur in RR
The relationship is that when oxygen debt occur it will probably lead to muscle fatigue and all these will lead to elevation in respiratory rate
