Effects of Exercise

Heart rate

When you stop exercising, your heart rate falls back to normal resting rate.

The fitter you are, the quicker it falls

Recovery time

This depends on how hard the activity was and how fit you are.

Glycogen stores

It takes up to 48 hours to replace the glycogen lost through exercising.

Lactic acid removal

Oxygen is still needed when you stop exercise to help get rid of lactic acid.
