5 ENERGY SYSTEM Flashcards
WHERE DOES THE BODY GET ENERGY?
Ingested food creates ATP which is a basic energy system for cell metabolism.
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats
CARBOHYDRATES
Glucose and glycogen serve as energy fuel for the body.
Muscle contractions, brain uses it as a fuel source
HYPOGLYCEMIA
Low blood glucose
Weakness, hunger, and dizziness
PROTEIN
Maintain, repair, and assist with the growth of the body and muscles.
Low carbohydrates= increased protein use= muscle degradation
FAT
Best source of energy within the body
Saturated: animal
Unsaturated: vegetable
Helps to build cells, and hormone function
ENERGY METABOLISM
Carbohydrates: only one energy is converted from glucose to ATP anaerobically.
ATP AND LACTATE
ATP creates lactate.
ATP and lactate balance out in aerobic exercise.
Increased levels of lactate at rest something is wrong.
Increased lactate in high-intensity exercise is normal.
MET
Metabolic Equivalent: an objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy compared to rest.
ATP- PHOSPHOCREATINE SYSTEM
ATP and PC stores in muscles.
Recruited anaerobically.
ATP and PC are replenished with rest.
High power.
Poor endurance.
Short, high-intensity, bursts of energy.
ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYTIC SYSTEM
Glycogen that is stored in the system.
By product is lactate and hydrogen.
Anaerobic.
High power.
High endurance.
30-90 seconds of activity.
AEROBIC SYSTEM
Oxygen is primary
Low power.
High endurance.
2 minute exercise.
