35
Q

What is the duration of the ATP-PC system?

A

2-10 seconds

36

No fatiguing bi-products.

48
Q

What are the weaknesses of the aerobic system?

A

Delay for oxygen delivery and complex series of reactions.
Slow energy production limits activity to sub-maximal intensity.
Triglycerides or FFAs demand around 15% more O2 for breakdown.
