ATP: Keep you Moving

Question 1

It is a transfer needed to maintain body temperature to keep us alive with no motion required

Answer 1

1. Basal Metabolic Rate

Question 2

The next transfer of energy is when we work or play. These are considered voluntary
movements. According to a study, “The more active we are, the more energy we transfer and
therefore the more “fuel” we need in food. The bigger, or more active a person is, the more
energy they will need, and vice versa”.

Answer 2

2. Working Energy

Question 3

Besides what we eat, another source of energy that can help us in our physical
movements is ___.

It is a compound in our body that keeps everything functioning and, in a biochemical sense, stores and uses our energy.

___ is stored in our muscles but is limited. When a person moves more, ___ is used by the muscles

Answer 3

ATP

Question 4

There are three energy systems that can produce ATP.

Answer 4

ATP-PCr
System

Glycolytic
System or
Lactic Acid
System

Aerobic
(with oxygen)
Oxidative system

Question 5

● Movements last for about 5-15
seconds
● PCR or the Creatine Phosphate helps
produce more ATP
● Short, sustained power movements,
therefore, produces energy quickly , but
not for a long time .
(High power/Short Duration

Strength power movements
like;
a. Swinging of golf club
b. Jumping
c. Throwing

Answer 5

ATP-PCr
System

Question 6

● Movements at max effort for 1-2
minutes
● Relies on the rapid break down of the
carbohydrates to its basic form,
glucose. This glucose circulates in the
blood and is then stored as glycogen in
the muscles and liver. The broken
glycogen creates ATP through the
process of glycosis.
● Produces energy quickly but does not
last over a long period

Circuit Training
● 3 sets of 10 repetitions of
any resistance exercise
performed relatively
slowly
● 5 seconds per repetition
with 2.5 minutes’ rest
between sets.
● 10 sprint repeats; with
30-second fast sprints,
and a 15-second recovery
between each sprint

Answer 6

2. Glycolytic
   System or
   Lactic Acid
   System

Question 7

● Slow production of ATP and for a long
duration of time
● Considered to be the primary source
of ATP with rest and low intensity
exercises.
● ATP is produced when the Krebs cycle
and the electron transport chain
metabolize triglycerides (stored fat)
and carbohydrates.

Cardiovascular Activities
● Running
● Jogging
● Biking
● Walking

Answer 7

Aerobic
(with oxygen)
Oxidative system
