(15 cards)
What are the three main types of energy systems in the human body?
The three main types of energy systems are the ATP-PC system, the anaerobic glycolytic system, and the aerobic system.
True or False: The ATP-PC system is an anaerobic energy system.
True
Fill in the blank: The __________ system is primarily used for high-intensity activities lasting up to 10 seconds.
ATP-PC
Which energy system is primarily used during prolonged, low to moderate intensity exercise?
Aerobic system
What is the primary fuel source for the anaerobic glycolytic system?
Glucose
Multiple Choice: Which energy system produces lactic acid as a byproduct? A) ATP-PC B) Anaerobic Glycolytic C) Aerobic
B) Anaerobic Glycolytic
What is the duration of energy provision for the anaerobic glycolytic system?
Approximately 10 seconds to 2 minutes
True or False: The aerobic system can use fats as a fuel source.
True
Short answer: Name one advantage of the aerobic energy system.
It can provide energy for long durations.
What does ATP stand for?
Adenosine Triphosphate
Fill in the blank: The __________ system is the fastest way to regenerate ATP.
ATP-PC
Multiple Choice: Which energy system has the highest capacity for energy production? A) ATP-PC B) Anaerobic Glycolytic C) Aerobic
C) Aerobic
What is the primary energy source for the ATP-PC system?
Phosphocreatine
True or False: Lactic acid buildup occurs in the aerobic energy system.
False
Short answer: What type of exercise primarily uses the ATP-PC energy system?
Short bursts of high-intensity exercise, like sprinting.
