Q

How does the ATP/PC system work?

A

Stored ATP is broken into ADP + PI - break of phosphate molecule creates 1-2 seconds of explosive movement. Then, CP breaks down - resynthesising PI back to the ADP to form ATP - releasing 10-12 seconds of explosive movement.

Q

What is aerobic interval training?

A

Alternating periods of work & recovery, work periods are longer than rest, can be manipulated to suit principles of training
