1
Q

what is the ATP-PC system

A

The ATP-PCr energy system is the immediate source of ATP for muscle action. It will provide energy at maximum intensity, but for a short duration (8-10 seconds).

Q

what is the aerobic energy system

A

The aerobic energy system uses oxygen to produce ATP. Stored fats and carbohydrates are the fuel source for this energy system.

Q

when is the anaerobic system used

A

The anaerobic energy system produces ATP without using oxygen and relies on the breakdown of glucose. It kicks in after the ATP-PCr system is depleted, providing energy for 1-2 minutes of high-intensity effort.

A 400m runner utilizes the anaerobic glycolytic system to maintain speed over the duration of the race.

Q

when is the aerobic energy system used

A

The aerobic system uses oxygen to produce ATP and is primarily used for long-duration, moderate-intensity activities. Fats and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose and fatty acids, which are then used to produce energy.
