You are required to write a laboratory report entitled ‘Excess post exercise
oxygen consumption: a comparison between exercise intensities’ using the
data collected from all practical sessions.
Learning outcomes
2 Discuss the acute and chronic physiological responses to short term and long term exercise.
3 Discuss the physiological factors which impact, and are impacted by physical activity.
Overview of report focus:
To compare EPOC between two different exercise intensities of a fixed
duration. You must discuss the physiological reasons for the results obtained
and therefore the factors which influence EPOC. You must rely
predominantly on peer reviewed journal articles as your evidence base but
supplementation with relevant books is acceptable. You should also state
how you might expect your data to differ in response to training and different
exercise modalities, and any other relevant factors.
