Energy Systems Flashcards
3 energy systems of the body
- ATP/PC
- Glycolytic
- Aerobic
ATP
Type of reaction
anaerobic (x O2)
ATP
food fuel
phosphocreatine
ATP site of reaction
sarcoplasm (part of muscle cell)
ATP
controlling enzyme
creatine kinase
ATP
energy yield
1 mol ATP
ATP
stages within system (3)
+ enzyme
+ end or exo
1) PC -> P + C + E
+ creatine kinase (enzyme
+ Exothermic
2) ATP <- ADP + P + E
+ Endothermic
3) ATP -> ADP + P + E
+ ATPase
+ Exothermic
ATP
by-products
no harmful by-products
ATP
When system predominantly used during exercise (2)
+ how long
+ e.g.
- high intensity -> max effort
- short duration
+ <10s
+ e.g. javelin
100m sprint
sprinting for ball
ATP
Advantages (5)
- doesn’t require O2
- Quick - provides ATP immediately
- excellent for high intensity short duration
- no harmful by-products
- recovers quickly
ATP
Disadvantages (3)
- short duration - no more than 10s
- only resynthesises 1 mol ATP
- small amounts of ATP & PC stored
which enzyme breaks down PC bond
creatine kinase
phosphocreatine is a ____ energy bond
high
how long can PC system supply energy for
3-10 secs
_______ training increases body muscle stores of ATP & PC
anaerobic
Gly
type of reaction
anaerobic
Gly
food fuel
carbohydrates (eaten)
|
glycogen (stored)
|
glucose (used)
Gly
site of reaction
sarcoplasm
Gly
controlling enzymes (2)
- PFK
- LDH
Gly
energy yield
2 mol ATP
Gly
stages within system (5)
+ enzymes
- Glycogen
- Glucose
+ Broken down by enzyme PFK - Pyruvic Acid
+ Broken down by enzyme LDH in absence O2 - Lactic acid
- 2 mol ATP
Gly
By product & what it causes
Lactic acid
- causes pain
- causes fatigue
- decreases performance
Gly
when system predominantly used during exercise (2)
+ how long
- High intensity
- Medium duration
+ up to 3 mins depending on intensity of exercise
Gly
Advantages (5)
- produces x2 amount (2 mol) ATP than PC system
- Anaerobic - energy relatively quickly because no O2
- can provide high intensity -> up to 3 mins
- glycogen readily available in muscle/liver
- can work aerobically and anaerobically
Gly
Disadvantages (3)
- By product Lactic Acid
-> causes pain
-> causes fatigue
-> reduces performance - Lactic acid reduces pH level of blood -> inhibits enzyme action -> blood becomes more acidic -> pain receptors stimulated
- not as quick as ATP/PC system
which enzyme breaks down glucose
PFK
