Q

anaerobic glycolysis

A

creates atp from glucose
doesn’t need oxygen
waste product is lactic acid which fatigues the muscle
produces energy for 10 seconds-2 minutes
sporting events are 200m swim, 400m sprint

uses oxygen to convert nutrients to atp
no waste products

Q

how does the atp-pc system work

A

it uses up the atp in the muscles first then uses creatine phosphate to resynthesise atp until the cp runs out (6-8 secs)

A

exercise up to approx 3 hours

18
Q

aerobic system- preferred fuels for proteins

A

used only at a last resort - ultra triathlons

19
Q

how do we test the aerobic system

A

cardiovascular endurance - 12 minute walk run and record the distance covered in 12 mins

20
Q

example of energy system interplay - afl

A

atppc- kicking for goal
anaerobic glycolysis- repeat efforts to tackle; sustained sprint
aerobic-tagging your player; jogging; walking; resting in position; recovery

21
Q

where are carbohydrates stored

A

blood (glucose)
muscles (glycogen)
excess (liver adipose tissue)

22
Q

where are fats stored

A

blood (fatty acid)
muscles (triglycerides)
excess (adipose tissue)

23
Q

where are proteins stored

A

blood (amino acids)
muscles (amino acids)
excess (adipose tissue)

24
Q

how do we get energy

A

the breakdown of adenosine triphosphate

25
Q

atp is the bodies ………….. of all body cells

A

currency

26
Q

what does atp consist of

A

an adenosine molecule and 3 phosphate groups

27
Q

what happens when the bond breaks

A

large amount of energy is released which creates adp (adenosine and 2 phosphate)and an inorganic phosphate
