  • AEROBIC ENERGY SYSTEMS
    - Alactic acid system (ATP/PC)- Lactic acid system
  • what type of exercise use the lactic acid system
    short duration, high intensity activities
  • ALACTIC ACID SYSTEM What does ATP/PC stand for
    adenosine tri phosphate/phosphate creatine
  • PROCESS OF ALACTIC ACID SYSTEM
    1. ATP exists
    2. Muscle contraction causes a phosphate to leave, leaving ADP
    3. Creatine links with the split phosphate, joins the phosphate to the ADP, creating ATP again
  • SOURCE OF FUEL FOR ATP/PC SYSTEM
    Stored creatine from red meat, supplementation, naturally occurring in body
  • ATP PRODUCTION EFFECIENCY IN ATP/PC SYSTEM
    Full extent of production (Fast but limited in duration in general)
  • DURATION OF OPERATION OF ATP/PC SYSTEM
    10 - 12 seconds
  • CAUSE OF FATIGUE IN ATP/PC SYSTEM
    Run out of creatine
  • BY PRODUCTS OF ATP/PC SYSTEM
    Heat
  • PROCESS/RATE OF RECOVERY OF ATP/PC SYSTEM
    Replenishment of creatine stores - 2 minutes to full recovery
