BACKGROUND: Excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) is an elevation in oxygen consumption ((V) over doto(2))) following exercise. Altitude decreases maximal oxygen uptake; however, studies are equivocal concerning the effect on resting metabolic rate.The EPOC response has not been studied with normobaric hypoxia.The purpose was to observe EPOC following constant-load cycling in normobaric hypoxia.
