Energy systems Flashcards
What is energy?
The ability to perform work.
What is chemical energy?
energy from food
What is kinetic energy?
Movement energy
what is potential energy?
stored energy
what is work
force x distance(joules)
what is power
work performed over a unit of time
what are the 3 energy systems
ATP-PC system
Lactic acid system(anaerobic glycolysis)
Alactic system(aerobic glycolyisis)
What is the only immediately usable energy source in the body?
ATP
How does our body get the energy to move?
Breakdown of ATP=Energy= Movement
What is ATP made up of
1 adenosine molecule and 3 phosphate molecules.
How much ATP is stored roughly in each muscly cell and how long does this last?
40-50g for 2-4 seconds
what intensity percentage is the ATP-PC system used predominantly?
90-100
What is the energy yield of the ATP-PC system?
1 mol of PCr to 1 mol ATP
What enzyme is present in the ATP-PC system?
Creatine Kinase
how long does it take for PC stores to rise back to 98 percent
3 minutes rest
When is the ATP-PC system used predominantly?
Maximal intensity(90-100) for 8-12 seconds
What are the 4 food fuels/substrates
PC
Glucose
Amino acids
Lipids
