a pet peeve of mine from that article - it's a typo but really, if you're going to quote science, try to get the basics correct -
Quote:
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']EPOC (Exercise Post Oxygen Consumption) is defined scientifically as the "recovery of metabolic rate back to pre-exercise levels" and "can require several minutes for light exercise and several hours for hard intervals." [/font]
Those words don't even make a sentence a phrase or sense. What the heck is Post Oxygen consumption. Someone isn't paying attention.
EPOC is Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption.
