Q

What is ATP?

A

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a high-energy compound which is the only immediately available source of energy for muscular contraction.

Q

What happens during ATP breakdown?

A

To exract energy from the ATP, an ezyme called ATPase is released. This stimulates the final high-energy bond to be broken. This is an endothermic reaction which leaves ADP and a single phosphate.

25
What is the energy contiuum?
The relative contribution of each energy system to overall energy production depending on intensity and duration of the activity.
26
What system is used for very high intensity?
The ATP-PC system will be predominant for activities under 10 seconds. It is contributing to 99% of ATP resynthesis.
27
What system is used for high intensity?
The glycolytic system will be predominant when the duration of the activity is between 10 seconds and 3 minutes long. It is contributing to 60-90% of ATP resynthesis.
28
What system is used for low - moderate intensity?
The aerobic system will be predominant where activity is moderate but constant. It contributes to 99% of ATP resynthesis.
29
What is intermittent exercise?
Activity where the intensity alternates (e.g. work/ relief)
30
What factors can affect the energy systems contribution to overall energy production?
- position of the player - tactics and stratagies - level of competition - structure of the game
