    Exercise increases oxygen consumption after workouts, known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). This post-exercise oxygen use significantly contributes to the body's overall energy expenditure following physical activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Metabolic Adaptations

    Background:

    • Exercise necessitates increased oxygen uptake during and after physical activity.
    • The elevated oxygen consumption post-exercise is termed excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).
    • To examine the magnitude, duration, underlying mechanisms, and clinical relevance of EPOC.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies investigating post-exercise oxygen consumption.

    Main Results:

    • Exercise demonstrably elevates oxygen consumption in the resting state following physical activity.
    • A significant portion of the total oxygen demand attributed to exercise is accounted for by EPOC.

    Conclusions:

    • Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) is a well-established physiological phenomenon.
    • EPOC plays a substantial role in the overall energy cost of exercise.
