Pendant les premières minutes de récupération, même si vos muscles ne sont plus actifs, la demande en oxygène ne diminue pas immédiatement. Au contraire, la consommation d'oxygène reste momentanément élevée [...] Autrement dit, cette consommation excède celle nécessaire à l'état de repos. [...] L'EPOC correspond au surplus d'oxygène consommé pendant la récupération. 2, record 1, French, - exc%C3%A8s%20de%20consommation%20d%27oxyg%C3%A8ne%20post%2Dexercice
