What does it mean to be an ANAEROBIC energy system
An energy system that does not use oxygen
What are the 2 types of anaerboic energy systems
ATP-CP System
Lactic Acid System
How much Creatine Phophate is stored and where?
Enough for the first 8 seconds of intense exercise, stored in the muscle site.
How much ATP does one CP molecule replenish?
1 molecule
What series of chemical reactions does the Lactic Acid system use?
Anaerobic glycolysis
How many ATP molecules does one glucose molecule restore?
2 molecules
How long does the Lactic Acid system last?
30-60 seconds
How do you remove Lactic Acid efficiently from the body
Active recovery
Lactic Threshold
The point where the body can only just remove enough lactic acid as it is still being produced.
