Factors Affecting Performance Flashcards
What are the 3 energy systems?
- ATP/PC
- Lactic Acid
- Aerobic
How long does the ATP system last?
Up to 10 seconds
What is the source of fuel for the ATP/PC system?
Creatine Phosphate
How efficent is the ATP/PC system is producing ATP?
Very efficient
Cause of fatigue for ATP/PC system?
Depletion of creatine phosphate
By products of ATP/PC system?
Heat
Rate of recovery for the ATP/PC system?
Up to 2 minutes, but after 30 seconds, half of stores are already refuelled
Source of fuel for lactic acid system?
Glycogen from carbohydrates
Efficiency of ATP production in lactic acid system?
Produces ATP at a medium/fast rate and can produce a lot. 2-3 molecules of ATP for each glucose molecule
Duration of lactic acid system?
30 seconds-3 minnutes
Lactic acid system cause of fatigue?
Build up of lactic acid
By products of lactic energy system?
Lactic acid
Rate of recovery for lactic acid system?
30 to 60 minutes
Source of fuel for aerobic system?
Carbohydrates, fats, protein
Efficiency of ATP production for aerobic system?
Very efficent. Produces 38 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule but rate of production is medium and cannot cope with high intensities.
Duration of aerobic system?
Over an hour, no limit
Cause of fatigue in aerobic system?
Loss of fuel. Carbohydrates storage depletes and intensity reduces. When fuel switches from carbs to fats, intensity decreases as fats need more oxygen to create ATP.
By products of the aerobic system?
Heat, carbon dioxide and water (sweat) leading to swelling
Rate of recovery for the aerobic energy system?
Between 12 and 48 hours depending on the intensity of performance
What are the 4 training methods?

- Circuit training
What is involved in anaerobic training?
- Short interval training
- Plyometrics
What is involved in flexibility training?
- Static stretching
- Dynamic strecthing
- PNF stretching
- Ballistic stretching
What is involved in strength training?
- Fixed/Free weights
- Elastics
- Hydraulics
