ENERGY SYSTEM Flashcards
(18 cards)
uses energy from food to fuel movement and essential body functions, but the body cells don’t get energy directly from food. After food is digested, the carbohydrates, protein and fat break down into simple compounds glucose, amino acids and fatty acids which are absorbed into the blood and transported to various cells throughout the body.
energy system in the human body
the 3 energy system
1.ATP-CP (adenosine tri-phospate-creatine phospate) system
2.lactic acid system
3.aerobic system
The body needs a continuous supply of ____ for energy
(ATP)
ATP-CP system (adenosine tri-phosphate-creatine phosphate)
whether the energy is needed for lifting weights, walking, thinking or even texting
ATP-CP SYSTEM
examples of ATP-CP SYSTEM
100m sprint
high jumps
gymnast
also called the anaerobic glycolysis system
lactic acid system
produces energy from muscle glycogen – the storage form of glucose.
lactic acid system
can occur in the presence or absence of oxygen.
glycolysis
the breakdown of glycogen into glucose
glycolysis
example of lactic acid system
200m jog or run
400m run
50m and 100m swim
The most complex energy system
aerobic system
aerobic system is also known as
oxygen energy system
provides most of the body’s ATP. This system produces ATP as energy is released from the breakdown of nutrients such as glucose and fatty acids. In the presence of oxygen, ATP can be formed through glycolysis.
aerobic system
example of aerobic system
jogging
dance
hiking
zumba
walking and running
energy system
anaerobic- alactic (ATP-CP)
anaerobic- lactic (glygolytic system)
aerobic (oxidation)
High intensity - max effort
anaerobic- alactic (ATP-CP)
Moderate to high intensity energy production
anaerobic- lactic (glygolytic system)
Slow to moderate rate
aerobic (oxidation)
