The exercise after-burn, or the calories expended (above resting values) after an exercise bout, is referred to as ‘excess post-exercise oxygen consumption’ or EPOC. This represents the oxygen consumption above resting level that the body is utilizing to return itself to its pre-exercise state.
The physiological mechanisms responsible for this increased metabolism (all chemical reactions in the body to liberate energy that is measured by oxygen consumption) include the replenishment of oxygen stores, phosphagen (ATP-PC) resynthesis, lactate removal, and the increased ventilation, blood circulation and body temperature above pre-exercise levels.
Studies have found that the magnitude and duration of EPOC is dependent on the intensity and duration of exercise. It generally takes anywhere from 15 minutes to up to 48 hours for the body to fully recover to a resting state. Other factors influencing EPOC include training status and gender.
