Study Notes
Energy Systems
- As intensity increases, the reliance on carbs (glucose) increases.
- The duration and intensity of an activity dictate which energy system is dominant.
Energy System Interplay
- All energy systems work in unison to provide energy.
- The amount of oxygen that can be taken up, transported, and used by working muscles determines the dominant energy system.
Aerobic System
- The aerobic system is the main way to build ATP when heart rate is below 70%.
- It is the slowest to build ATP.
- When glucose is depleted, the body starts to metabolize fats.
- The brain needs glucose to function.
Anaerobic Glycolysis
- Anaerobic glycolysis has to increase the amount of ATP it rebuilds due to lack of oxygen.
- At this point, lactic acid begins to build up due to lack of oxygen.
- The lactic acid inflection point occurs at 85% MHR.
- Can train to have a higher lactic acid inflection point through aerobic training.
ATP-PC System
- Stored in muscles, ATP-PC system only lasts 2-3 seconds.
- One PC molecule rebuilds 0.7 of an ATP.
- Can be rebuilt aerobically and anaerobically.
- Runs out fast and rebuilds fast.
Energy Systems Comparison
- ATP-PC system: no oxygen used, lasts around 2-3 seconds, and rebuilds fast.
- Anaerobic glycolysis: no oxygen used, lasts around 10 seconds, and produces lactic acid.
- Aerobic system: uses oxygen, lasts around 90 seconds, and is the slowest to build ATP.
Lactic Acid Release
- Lactic acid release inhibits muscle contractions.
- Hydrogen ions, which are produced, can be rebuilt back into ATP or glucose.
Glycogen Breakdown
- Glycogen breaks down fast, but because there is no oxygen, it produces lactic acid.
- If the intensity is below 85% MHR, then H+ may not reach fatigue levels, called hitting the wall.
