Study Notes
Anaerobic Energy Systems
- Anaerobic pathways liberate energy without the presence of oxygen.
- Triggers include high intensity exercise, short burst activities, and limited oxygen availability.
- The 30-second Wingate Sprint is a common assessment for anaerobic threshold.
- Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis. It is not a waste product, but rather a fuel source.
- Lactic acid actually buffers acid production from glycolysis by alkalinizing the reaction.
- Lactic acid does not cause fatigue.
- EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) and oxygen deficit are related to the body's recovery from anaerobic activity.
Phosphagen System (ATP-CP)
- The phosphagen system provides the primary energy source for high-intensity activities lasting up to 10 seconds, such as sprinting and weight training.
- It is active at the start of all exercise, regardless of intensity.
- Stored ATP is the initial fuel source, lasting approximately 2-3 seconds.
- Stored creatine phosphate (CP) is used to resynthesize ATP for an additional 3-10 seconds.
- The phosphagen system has a fast rate of ATP generation but a low capacity due to fuel depletion.
- The amount of stored fuel and enzyme activity (ATPase and Creatine Kinase) are crucial for efficient ATP production.
Glycolysis (Anaerobic Glycolysis / Lactate System)
- Anaerobic glycolysis breaks down carbohydrates (blood glucose and muscle glycogen) to produce ATP in the cytosol of a muscle cell.
- It provides energy for moderate to high-intensity activities lasting from 30 seconds to 2-3 minutes.
- It occurs in a hypoxic (anaerobic) environment.
- Glucose and glycogen are the primary fuels.
- The conversion of pyruvate to lactate regenerates NAD+, allowing glycolysis to continue.
- Lactate formation occurs when the rate of energy demand (flux) surpasses the capacity of the mitochondria to use pyruvate aerobically.
- Lactate is a preferred energy source and can be reversed back to pyruvate for further energy production.
The 30-Second Wingate Sprint
- The 30-second Wingate sprint utilizes multiple energy systems.
- Initial ATP/PCr provides the initial energy burst.
- Anaerobic glycolysis is the primary energy source for the majority of the sprint.
- Glucose from aerobic metabolism (using CHO) contributes to the energy production.
