Q

Phosphagen System

A
  • Type: Anaerobic
  • Fuel source: Creatine phosphate (CP)
  • Intensity: 95 - 100% of maximal effort
  • Duration: 1 - 10 s
  • Recovery time: About 30 s – 2 mins
  • Used in: Sports or activities requiring explosive power

Q

Lactate System

A
  • Type: Anaerobic
  • Fuel source: Glycogen
  • Intensity: 60 - 90% of maximal effort
  • Duration: 30 s – 3 mins
  • Recovery time: 20 mins – 2 hours
  • Used in: Field sports, track and field

Q

Benefits and Disadvantages of the Phosphagen System

A

Benefits
* No oxygen required
* Very rapid rate of ATP
production
* No negative by products
* Responsive to training

Disadvantages
* Limited stores of CP in the muscle

Q

Benefits and Disadvantages of the Lactate System

A
  • No oxygen required
  • Greater production of ATP than
    phosphagen system
  • Lasts for longer than phosphagen system
  • Responsive to training
  • ↑ lactate tolerance
  • ↑ lactate removal

Disadvantages
* Increase in muscle acidity

Q

Aerobic System

A
  • Type: Aerobic
  • Fuel source: Glycogen or fat
  • Intensity: <60% of maximal effort
  • Duration: >3 mins
  • Recovery time: Duration of time to replace fuel (24 – 48 hours)
  • Used in: Endurance events
