Energy Systems Flashcards
what are the 3 energy systems?
Aerobic, ATP-creatine phosphate and anaerobic
How long is ATP used for
10-15 seconds
How long is ATP - CP used for?
A one max repetition
10 second effort
How long does aerobic last for?
Anything 3 minutes or more
How long does anaerobic work?
15 seconds - 3 minutes
What is ATP?
Adenosine tri phosphate
What is ATP made of?
1 x adenosine molecule (adenine and ribose)
3 x phosphate molecules
What is the ATP-PC system?
The phosphocreatine system
What is anaerobic glycolysis?
The lactic acid system
What is aerobic glycolysis?
The aerobic energy system (up to 85% max heart rate)
What intensity is ATP-CP?
Short and high
What intensity is anaerobic?
High/short to moderate
What intensity is aerobic?
Sub-moderate to extended
What fuel does aerobic use?
Carbs, fats, proteins
What fuel does anaerobic use?
Glycogen
What fuel does ATP-PC use?
Stored ATP PC
Examples of an ATP-PC event?
