}The purpose of this study was to determine whether aerobic fitness level would influence measurements of excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) and initial rate of recovery. Twelve trained [Tr; peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) = 53.3 +/- 6.4 ml . kg-1 . min-1] and ten untrained (UT; VO2 peak = 37.4 +/- 3.2 ml . kg-1 . min-1) subjects completed two 30-min cycle ergometer tests on separate days in the morning, after a 12-h fast and an abstinence from vigorous activity of 24 h.

Data indicate that separating a continuous 30 min arm exercise into 3 equal 10 min arm exercises will elicit a small but significantly higher EPOC, and thus result in greater post-exercise energy expenditure, which could be beneficial for those unable to perform lower-body exercise (LBE), or for those with limited exercise capacities.
Maximum Oxygen Uptake and Post-Exercise Recovery in Professional Road Cyclists

A positive correlation between the differential rate of recovery forVO2 and VO2max indicated a dependency between aerobic fitness and recovery potential, and training effects may be monitored based on the recovery of VO2 and Hr to pre-exercise values.

Results indicate that EPOC varies as a function of relative rather than absolute metabolic stress and that training improves the efficiency of metabolic regulation during recovery from exercise.
Excess Postexercise Oxygen Consumption is Unaffected by the Resistance and Aerobic Exercise Order in an Exercise Session
- EducationJournal of strength and conditioning research
- 2011
Excess postexercise oxygen consumption is unaffected by the resistance and aerobic exercise order in an exercise session, and it is not necessary for an individual to consider the EPOC when making the decision as to which exercise mode is better to start a training session.

Results indicate that when total work was similar, the magnitude and duration of EPOC were similar following CON or INT exercise, and differences in HR and RER during recovery suggest differential physiological responses to the exercise challenges.

HRR is a sensitive marker which tracks changes in training status in already well-trained cyclists and has the potential to have an important role in monitoring and prescribing training.
Effect of Training Status on Oxygen Consumption in Women After Resistance Exercise
- MedicineJournal of strength and conditioning research
- 2016
It is suggested that, in women, resistance training increases metabolic activity of lean tissue and postexercise energy costs of RE are determined by the duration of stimulation provided by RE rather than absolute work performed.

The data suggest that the athletes characterized by high aerobic capacity could be better adapted to maximal exercise with faster recovery HR immediately following an exercise test and generally suggest thatThe aerobic power along with autonomic modulation might have played a role in the ultra short-term cardiovascular responses to all-out exercise.

The Eff ects of Physical Fitness and Body Composition on Oxygen Consumption and Heart Rate Recovery After High-Intensity Exercise

Results indicate that VO 2 max does not infl uence HRR or EPOC after high-intensity exercise, and body fat impedes HRR and delays recovery of oxygen consumption after eff ort in highly trained athletes.

The results suggest EPOC may be related primarily to the relative metabolic rate of the active musculature, as opposed to the absolute exercise VO2 or quantity of active muscle mass associated with these two types of exercise.

The results suggest that EPOC following a weight-supported exercise of an intensity and duration frequently used by individuals who begin an exercise program for weight control is not compromised by differences in body weight or fitness level.

It is concluded that EPOC increases linearly with exercise duration at a work intensity of 70% of maximal O2 consumption, and there was no difference in EPOC:EOC for different exercise durations.

It is concluded that the prolonged component of EPOC is present in the fasting state and no major interaction effects between food intake and exercise on the postexercise O2 consumption could be detected.

Based on the resulting magnitude of the postexercise energy expenditure, it is possible that EPOC may be of some value for weight control over the long term.
