Emergy Systems Flashcards
1
Q
Enough ATP in muscles to last
A
1-3 secs
2
Q
ATP-PC system
A
System used to rebuild ATP when we work at very high intensities for a very short period
Lasts for 8-10secs
3
Q
What is broken down in ATP-PC system
A
PC broken down
Energy released to make 1ATP
30secs to get 50% PC back
Provides energy for high intensity activity
4
Q
Lactate system
A
Lasts for 60-90 secs
Glucose/glycogen broken down
Into pyruvic acid
No O2 available to turn into lactic acid
Takes 8mins to recover
Gives 2ATP
