1. ENERGY SYSTEMS
2. FOOD TO FUEL • Energy in the human body come from the breakdown of nutrients like
carbohydrates, proteins and fats Food = Energy (ATP) • The end result of this breakdown is
the production energy in the form of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
3. ENERGY PATHWAYS • ATP provides energy necessary for body function. • Because the
body can not easily store ATP it is necessary to continually create ATP during exercise.
4. ENERGY PATHWAYS • In general, the two major ways the body converts nutrients to energy
are: • Aerobicmetabolism (with oxygen) • Anaerobicmetabolism (without oxygen) • There is a
total of 3 Energy systems that interplay to supply the fuel needed for exercise, with the
intensity and duration of the exercise determining which method gets used when.
5. ENERGYSYSTEMS • The 3 energy systems are: 1) ATP-PC System (Anaerobic without
oxygen) 2) Anaerobic Glycolysis(Anaerobic without oxygen) 3) Aerobic (Aerobic with oxygen)

6. ATP-CP SYSTEM • The ATP-CP energy pathway (sometimes called the phosphate system)
uses ATP CP stores directly. • This pathway doesn't require any oxygen to create ATP. •
When is it used? supplies about 10 seconds worth of energy and is used for short bursts of
exercise such as a 100 meter sprint. • It first uses up any ATP stored in the muscle (about 2-3
seconds worth) and then it uses creatine phosphate (CP) to resynthesize ATP until the CP
runs out (another 6-8 seconds). • After the ATP and CP are used the body will move on to
either aerobic or anaerobic metabolism (glycolysis) to continue to create ATP to fuel exercise.
7. ATP-PC System Chemical Process • ATP↔ADP + P + energy • When ATP is broken down
(i.e. loses one phosphate group) a new molecule is formed known as Adenosine Diphosphate
(ADP) • The energy produced activates specific sites along the muscle fibers causing them to
shorten
8. ATP-CP SYSTEM
9. Put it to the test…. • To test the ATP-CP system we use muscular power. • Bicep Curl 1RM
(repetition maximum)
10. ANAEROBICGLYCOLYSIS • The anaerobic energy pathway, or glycolysis, creates ATP
exclusively from carbohydrates • Creates this ATP without the need of oxygen • Lactic acid
and Hydrogen ions are by-product of this system. • When is it used? Anaerobic
glycolysisproduces energy for short, high- intensity bursts of activity lasting no more than
several minutes before the lactic acid build-up reaches a threshold known as the lactate
threshold and muscle pain, burning and fatigue make it difficult to maintain such intensity.
11. ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS
12. Anaerobic Chemical Process
13. LACTATE THRESHOLD • Lactic acid threshold is the common term used when the level of
lactate acid nad H+ within the bloodstream and working muscles is above which an individual
cannot continue to physically exersise at a desired level. • Trained athletes can increase their
tolerance to LA accumulation and are able to continue effective performance or training with
much higher lactate and H+ levels in their working muscles and circulatory system.
14. Put it to the Test…. • To test this system in class we use muscle endurance exercises •
Pushups, Situps, and Lunges for 2 minutes.
15. AEROBIC SYSTEM • Aerobic system fuels most of the energy needed for long duration
activity. • It uses oxygen to convert nutrients to ATP. • This system is a bit slower than the
anaerobic. • Relies on the circulatory system to transport oxygen to the working muscles
before it creates ATP. • When is it used? Endurance events, less intense activities, that last
long periods of time. • This system creates 38 molecules of ATP from 1 molecule of gluscose
16. AEROBIC SYSTEM
17. Aerobic System Chemical Process Fats ( and O2) + Protein(emergency ATP source) ATP

18. Put it to the test….. • To test this system we use cardiovascular endurance • perform the 12
minute walk run and record the distance covered in 12 minutes.
