Energy systems

Cards (4)

  • Aerobic
    The aerobic energy system uses glucose and oxygen to create energy. The aerobic energy system produces energy during long duration activities, like jogging, cycling or swimming. It uses oxygen to break down nutrients and create ATP providing sustain energy for extended periods of exercise the aerobic energy system recovers by replenishing stores of glycogen, and oxygen in the muscles, removing lactic acid and repairing muscle tissue
  • Lactic acid
    The lactic acid energy system uses glucose to create energy. Glucose is broken down during intense exercise, when the body cannot supply enough, oxygen to the muscles, producing lactic acid as a byproduct, lactic acid energy system also known. as the anaerobic energy system is one of the mechanisms are body uses to produce energy during exercise it kicks in when our body can't supply enough oxygen to our muscles for aerobic energy producing instead, this system rapidly breaks down glucose to produce energy by the buildup of lactic acid.
  • Oxygen debt
    Oxygen is the extra oxygen Your body needs after exercise to break down lactic acid and remove it from your muscles. It's like a repayment your body makes after intense exercise. during intense exercise The body uses anaerobic respiration and produces lactic acid and there is not enough oxygen after exercise, the body needs extra oxygen to break down the lactic acid and remove it from your muscles repaying the oxygen debt. This process helps the muscles recover
  • ATP-CP
    ATP-CP Also known as creatine phosphate uses creatine phosphate to create energy. ATP-CP is an energy system used during short bursts of intense activity, such as sprinting or weightlifting. It provides energy for about 10 seconds before another energy system takes over. muscles Use ATP to power muscle contractions and movements when a muscle needs energy for a quick burst of activity it breaks down ATP into ADP and phosphate releasing energy for the muscle to use
