our body absorbs extra oxygen to compensate the deficiency. Additional oxygen utilized to restore normal functioning is known as "oxygen debt." In this repayment process, lactic acid present in the muscles is metabolized back into water and carbon dioxide molecules. Post exercise, extra oxygen is utilized to restore ATP, phosphocreatine, and glycogen molecules. Oxygen is utilized from body fluids, hemoglobin, air in the lungs, myoglobin (an iron-containing compound present in muscle tissues), and hemoglobin.
