Q
Describe how the three energy systems contribute to muscular endurance
A
a. Phosphagen System (ATP-CP)
Duration: Lasts about 0-10 seconds.
Function: Provides immediate energy through the breakdown of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine phosphate (CP) stored in muscles.
Contribution to Endurance: While primarily used for short bursts of high-intensity effort, it supports quick recovery during rest periods in endurance activities.
b. Glycolytic System (Anaerobic)
Duration: Lasts about 10 seconds to 2 minutes.
Function: Generates ATP through the breakdown of glucose without oxygen. This process produces lactic acid as a byproduct.
Contribution to Endurance: It supports high-intensity efforts, allowing for sustained activity in events like sprinting or high-rep strength training.
c. Oxidative System (Aerobic)
Duration: Used for longer activities (more than 2 minutes).
Function: Generates ATP using oxygen to metabolize carbohydrates and fats.
Contribution to Endurance: This system is crucial for long-duration activities, as it provides a sustained energy supply, allowing for prolonged muscle contractions

execution will render it useless.
Compared to a cable tensiometer which is very robust and requires little
coaching/form/technique, however the equipment/technology needs means it’s not
practical for many

QEP must be aware of sources of error and work to mitigate them
