Energy system used for Aerobic exercise
Aerobic energy system
Energy system used in very short distance / high intensity exercise
ATP-PC system
Energy system used in moderately short / high intensity exercise?
Anaerobic glycolytic system
Cause of fatigue in ATP-PC system
Lack of phosphocreatine (PC)
Cause of fatigue in anaerobic glycolytic system
Lactate production
Cause of fatigue in aerobic system
- Build up of lactate (due to bad pacing)
- Lack of glycogen in glycogen stores
