Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | This energy system is used for ATP production during high intensity, short duration exercise such as sprinting 100 meters. |
Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | Phosphocreatine decomposes and releases a large amount of energy that is used to construct ATP. |
Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | There is two to three times more phosphocreatine in cells of muscles than ATP. |
Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | This process occurs almost instantaneously allowing for ready and available energy needed by the muscles. |
Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | The system provides energy for muscle contraction for up to 15 seconds. |
Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | The phosphagen system represents the most rapidly available source of ATP for use by the muscle. Reasons for this rapid availability are as follows: |
Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | It does not depend on a long series of chemical reactions. |
• Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | It does not depend on transporting the oxygen we breathe to the working muscles. |
• Anaerobic Metabolism ATP-PC System | Both ATP and PC are stored directly within the contractile mechanisms of the muscle. |
Anaerobic Glycolysis This energy system | is a major supplier of ATP during high intensity, short duration activities such as sprinting 400 or 800 meters. |
Anaerobic Glycolysis | Stored glycogen is split into glucose, and through glycolysis, split again into pyruvic acid. The energy released during this process forms ATP. |
Anaerobic Glycolysis The process does not require | oxygen. This system is nearly 50% slower than the phosphocreatine system and can provide a person with 30 to 40 seconds of muscle contraction. |
Anaerobic glycolysis results in | the formation of lactic acid, which causes muscular fatigue. |
• Anaerobic Glycolysis It | does not require the presence of oxygen. |
• Anaerobic Glycolysis It uses only | carbohydrates (glycogen and glucose). |
• Anaerobic Glycolysis It releases | enough energy for the resynthesis of only small amounts of ATP. |
Aerobic Metabolism is used predominantly during | low intensity, long duration exercise such as running a marathon. |
Aerobic Metabolism The oxygen system yields by | far the most ATP, but it requires several series of complex chemical reactions. This system provides energy through the oxidation of food. |
Aerobic Metabolism The combination | of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose with oxygen releases energy that forms ATP. This system will provide energy as long as there are nutrients to utilize. |
