Energy Systems Flashcards
Define VO2 max
The maximum volume of oxygen that can be taken in and diffused into the muscles per minute
What is sub-maximal oxygen deficit?
When there is not enough oxygen available at the start of exercise to fuel the aerobic energy system
What is the fuel source of the ATP-PC system?
Phosphocreatine
What is the intensity of the ATP- PC system?
Very high (95% of max HR)
What is the duration of the ATP-PC system and what is its timing of optimal functioning?
10 seconds (general lasting time)
2 - 4 seconds (peak power time)
What is the amount of energy produced in this time period?
1 ATP broken quickly to produce an explosive burst of energy
What is the speed of production?
ATP is broken instantaneously (quickest fuel source)
What is a by product of the ATP-PC system?
Inorganic phosphate (ADP) (+Pi)
What is the total time which the ATP-PC system is able to function in?
10 seconds at the beginning of exercise
What is the ATP PC system also called?
Alactic acid
What is the fuel source of the lactacid system?
Glycogen
What is the lactacid system also called?
Anaerobic Glycolytic system
What is the intensity of the lactacid system?
High (85% max hr)
What is the duration of the anaerobic Glycolytic (lactacid) system?
10-75 seconds
What is the peak performance timing of the lactacid (anaerobic system?
5-15 seconds
