ATP-PC Energy System Flashcards
Is the ATP-PC System aerobic or anaerobic?
Anaerobic
What does ATP-PC stand for?
Adenosine Triphosphate - Creatine Phosphate
What does ADP stand for?
Adenosine Diphosphate
How does an ATP molecule produce energy?
The third phosphate breaks off and releases energy and creates ADP
What is the process of reforming ATP from ADP called?
ATP Resynthesis
How does ATP resynthesis occur?
Phosphate molecule from CP joins ADP to form ATP
What is the duration of the ATP-PC system
8-10 seconds if PC stores are full
What is the intensity of the ATP-PC system in terms of % Heart Rate
95-100% Max Heart Rate
What is the intensity of the ATP-PC system in terms of RPE
10
What is the fuel for the ATP-PC system
PC (Creatine Phosphate)
Describe recovery of the ATP-PC system
Requires a passive recovery.
70% PC stores recovered in 30 seconds.
98% PC stores recovered in 3 minutes.
What is the rate of the ATP-PC system?
Highest/Fastest Rate
ATP-PC system has the fastest rate of ATP resynthesis
What is the yield of the ATP-PC system?
Lowest
What is the cause of fatigue for the ATP-PC system?
Depletion of PC stores
What effect does consuming creatine have on the ATP-PC system?
Increases amount of energy produced, not the duration.
