Energy Systems Flashcards
(24 cards)
What is ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
What’s the role of ATP
To give our muscles energy
What are the 3 energy systems that produce ATP
- ATP-PC
- Anaerobic glycolysis
- Aerobic System
What are the 3 main food fuels
- carbohydrates
- fat
- protein
What are carbohydrates stored as
Glycogen
What are the fats stored in
Blood stream
What is the ATPPC fuel
Creative phosphate
What is the anaerobic glycosides fule
Glucose
What are the aerobic systems fuels
Glycogen
Carbohydrates
Fats
Protein
What is the ATPPC duration time
10 seconds
What is the anaerobic glycolysis duration time
10 seconds - two minuets
What is the aerobic systems duration time
2 + minuets
Why does the ATPPC system have a very long input to physical activity
Because there isn’t a lots of CP
Why dont we use more fat for ATP during physical activity
Carbohydrates need less oxygen to break down
During rest what fuel is used
Fat
How much CP is stored in the muscles
Small amount (about 10 seconds)
How many systems can work at once
All 3
Explain the interaction of
ATPPC
Anaerobic glycolysis
Aerobic system
ATPPC - short sprint
Anaerobic glycolysis - running up a hill
Aerobic system - constantly being used
Draw the diagram
[A] - (P) - (P) - (P)
[A] - (P) - (P) } (P)
[A] - (P) - (P) Pi
Which system needs oxygen
Aerobic system
How does ATP produce energy
By the breaking of the bonds between the last two phosphates and the energy is released for muscle contractions
What are carbohydrates stored as in
- blood
- muscle
- excess
- glucose
- glycogen
- liver adipose tissue
What is fat stored as in
- blood
- muscle
- excess
- fatty acids
- triglycerides
- adipose tissue
What is protein stored as in
- blood
- muscle
- excess
- amino acids
- amino acids
- adipose tissue
