Energy Systems Flashcards
What is ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
What’s the role of ATP
To give our muscles energy
What are the 3 energy systems that produce ATP
- ATP-PC
- Anaerobic glycolysis
- Aerobic System
What are the 3 main food fuels
- carbohydrates
- fat
- protein
What are carbohydrates stored as
Glycogen
What are the fats stored in
Blood stream
What is the ATPPC fuel
Creative phosphate
What is the anaerobic glycosides fule
Glucose
What are the aerobic systems fuels
Glycogen
Carbohydrates
Fats
Protein
What is the ATPPC duration time
10 seconds
What is the anaerobic glycolysis duration time
10 seconds - two minuets
What is the aerobic systems duration time
2 + minuets
Why does the ATPPC system have a very long input to physical activity
Because there isn’t a lots of CP
Why dont we use more fat for ATP during physical activity
Carbohydrates need less oxygen to break down
During rest what fuel is used
Fat
