A-LEVEL PE (OCR): PAPER 1 - Recovery, Altitude and Heat

These flashcards explain key concepts related to oxygen use during and after exercise, including EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption), oxygen deficit, and the two stages of recovery. They highlight how the body restores itself to a pre-exercise state and compensates for oxygen demands during physical activity.
